Competitive Programming Fundamentals

Stuck between Div 3 and Div 2? Or just starting out and want a roadmap? This session is built around getting your rating to actually move. I'm a 4-star CodeChef programmer (rating 1971) and LeetCode rated 1821 with 500+ problems solved. I've been through the plateau and know how to break it.

What we'll work on:

1. Identifying problem types faster during a contest
2. Standard templates you should memorise (prefix sum, two pointer, sliding window, etc.)
3. When to brute force vs optimise
4. Contest time management strategy
5. Picking the right problems to practice for your current level

Best for: students at Div 3 / Div 2 level on CodeChef or Codeforces, or LeetCode rating under 1600 looking to improve.
