    Module-2: Codeforces

    CRUx Bootstrap
    2.A: Codeforces

    Codeforces is the most popular platform for competitive coding.

    You must have used the platform already for doing Module-1 problems and taking
    part in the recent Division 3 contest.

    In the first few sections of this module, we will discuss some important details about
    the platform.
    2.B: Rating
    Every Codeforces user has an associated “rating”, which is a number indicative of
    how good they are, based on their performances in previous Codeforces contests.

    This is similar to the Elo rating system used in Chess.

    On the basis of rating, Codeforces users are divided into different rating ranges.
    2.C: Contests
    Codeforces contests take place roughly every 2-4 days, at 8 PM IST.
    Participation in these contests ranges from 20k to 30k from around the world.
    There are three major types of contests - Div 1, Div 2, and Div 3.
    Div 1 contests are the hardest and you need to be at least 1900 rated to participate
    in them.
    On the other side of the spectrum, Div 3 contests are relatively easy (albeit still
    difficult for beginners).
    By the end of this workshop, we hope that you get to a level where you can solve 3
    and 4 problems in Div 2 and Div 3 contests respectively.
    It may not seem like much, but this is pretty good, given that you solve the
    problems quick enough.
    2.D: Submission verdicts
    When you make a submission to a Codeforces problem, one of several things can
    happen.

    Here are the important and common ones.

    Accepted Your code produces the correct output for all test cases

    Wrong Answer Your code gives the wrong answer on a test case

    Time Limit Exceeded Your code takes too long to run - it is inefficient (we will teach
    you more about this in the coming module)
    2.E: Stuck on a problem?
    At the end of every Codeforces contest, the contest writers make a Codeforces
    blog post in which they explain the solutions of the contest problems.

    If you are stuck on a particular problem, you can find its corresponding solution by
    clicking on the “Tutorial” link on the sidebar at the right.

    Note: When you are practicing


    problems, it is advisable to read the
    tutorial only after you’ve spent a
    decent chunk of time (like a day) on
    the problem.
    2.F: More about Codeforces

    1. General rules of contests


    2. Scoring in contests
    3. Rating and rating ranges
    2.G: Why should I do CC?

    1. Ideal case - you have a knack for solving puzzles.


    2. Money - you are a CS student (or) you want to pursue a career in IT - CC is
    important for passing Online Assessment rounds of both placements and
    summer internships (most of us at CRUx do CC for this very reason).
    3. To become a better programmer in general.
