@HarshJain_Coder Yeah, it's so smart

@_AmShZ_ I once brute forced this when required using prefix sums of the sorted arrya and all values between min and max element. Constraints allowed me to do so at that time but later I came to know about this trick and it's proof as well 😅 It's really cool to be honest

If you have n numbers and want to minimize the sum of absolute differences to all of them, pick the median. Sort the array and take the middle element. If n is even, any value between the two middle elements works.

When a function needs too many parameters, it is often asking for a small struct.

Use assertions while building. They turn silent wrong assumptions into loud, useful failures.

If a bug disappears when you add prints, suspect undefined behavior, uninitialized variables, or timing issues.

Autocorrect can make mistakes. Check important info.

@erfnzdeh @priyanshudotsol Learning CS really needs interactive contents

@priyanshudotsol @_AmShZ_

someone wrote a 680 page interactive book on cs algorithms

👀Stop guessing when to use greedy algorithms. Our new video series covers: → Core patterns & when they work → 22 problems: basics to advanced → Time Machine Technique 312 min of structured learning. Taught by Candidate Master itself. repovive.com/video/greedy-a…

We successfully hosted another Repovive Round without any technical issues. This shows that our judge and contest preparation pipeline is more stable than ever. Special thanks go to AmShZ for their exceptional effort in organizing the round, and to everyone who participated.

@HamzaHassanain0 @ShayanCJahan @repovive Amazing!

@chillestmofoo 😂😂😭

@_AmShZ_ India, in terms of cheating. Yeah Not everyone but many, its actually sad.

Which country do you think has improved the most in competitive programming in recent years?

@erfnzdeh Maduro's effect

@_AmShZ_ Venezuela

@NimaNaderi2004 👍👍

@_AmShZ_ Israel, for sure. Both in IOI and ICPC, they are dominating after just a few years of investment.

India?

We solved only 5 problems during the contest😵‍💫

@erfnzdeh Interesting. Can you give an example?

@_AmShZ_ I like code that is a good listener.

I like code that looks calm under pressure.

@Keshiii42 Too many contests, too many bugs, and too much code that panics before I do.

@_AmShZ_ how'd you come up with that one

Everything that can be implemented with recursion also has a non-recursive implementation.
