If this is your first time on programming contests, then as someone said, is better to tackle algorithms and problems, you will learn some C/C++ while doing that, but you will learn a lot about solving strategies and algorithms you need to do well in competitions.
Highly recommend you check the TopCoder tutorials<http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tutorials&d2=alg_index> <http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tutorials&d2=alg_index> Carlos Guía On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 8:29 PM, Rahul Tibrewal <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey Ppl; > Thanks a ton.
