If you make a solution that works for the large data set then it works for small too. The only difference is that your program should be faster to give the answer in time and you should be aware of the limits of input and memory usage. Often there´s a solution that works for the small input but is not good enough to the large data set but you can use that solution to gain points in small and test if your solution to the large is correct when you come up with a optimized solution.
To study there are many sources in general you have to learn algorithms and data structures and learn how to solve problems problems in sites like http://www.spoj.com/ or https://www.urionlinejudge.com.br and competitions in http://community.topcoder.com/tc or http://codeforces.com/ On Sat, Apr 19, 2014 at 2:08 AM, Ankanand <[email protected]> wrote: > I am new to Google code Jam, I got 28 points.
