Hello admins and fellow members… Great works you guys are doing.

Please can anyone give a clear path to becoming a competitive programmer in a concise order?

That would be most appreciated by most of us.

    If you want to start competitive programming then choose C++ over any language because it’s fast and have oops + STL library for competitive programming

    For in-depth knowledge and path, you can read - (i think these are one of the best roadmaps )

      mike you can start by completing data structures and algorithm in any language( prefer C++) and at the same time you can do codechef or hackerearth monthly competitions.

          xa- thanks so much for this. The two links answered my questions and cleared my doubts completely.

          However, the last thing I need from is that, if you would recommend any C++ course for me, which one woud it be.

          Thanks as I await your recommendation.

            AyushJain I think I will start with SPOJ, then move to hackereath and to codechef, Thanks for your advise

                mike

                Ohk you are from NG , Maybe SPOJ is famous there …. BTW hackerrank / hackerearth are the most basic and codeforces / codechef are on the next step

                    xa- Yeah, I am from Nigeria.

                    You know anyone from here?

                    And btw, pls you are yet to give your recommendation 😇

                      By the way…. any competitive programmer here?

                      I would like to connect so I can either learn from them, or we can learn together ..
