If you are a Newbie in Competitive Programming

There was a question in Codeforces recently.
Talking about "I'm such a Newbie in Codeforces.. What should I do?"

This is a quite boring question since there are tons of same questions. So it got many downvotes, obviously. However, I wanted to reply him because I was once a Newbie too.

If you are thinking Codeforces as a 'tutorial' site, you are in the wrong place. That's why you are getting downvotes. However if your first coder's website is Codeforces.. I understand that you would be unfamiliar with these Algorithms.

Next time try to google and search youtube. There are plenty of guides for who had the same worries. For example, William's Video is great.

Below is my thoughts being expert in Codeforces. Div3 A~D, and Div2 A~B is usually ad-hoc. Which means the main key is the 'observation'. Which isn't quite related with pre-knowledge. So you just need time and effort to observe ideas quickly. But for Div3 E~F and furthermore, algorithm knowledge is necessary.

I always think studying this Guide would be wonderful for anyone who think their knowledge is insufficient. Be aware that you should solve the recommended problems. The details between Theory and Reality are often different.
