    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?
