@rubedu86 Nice, 2 problems in division 2 is a good start. To improve just practice a lot in the arena, solve old problems and read the editorial only if you get stuck. Also, SPOJ is another good site to practice. Practice is the key.
About books, I've only read the second part of Algorithms in C, it helped me a lot for graphs. Also, I was reading Concrete Mathematics and Introduction to Algorithms, but I don't have that much free time anymore.
Actually, I'm not rated coder but member I think, since 2008. I don't have available time to compete in rated events. Always solving the problems in practice rooms.
@proton101 For C#? Probably Visual Studio. The problem is that, as far as I know, there is no equivalent to moj or TZTester in C#, which is the most important part of using these plugins.
@proton101 You can install the FileEdit + CodeProcessor2 + moj plugins, look at "How to Compete" in the algorithm track, and for moj look search the forums.
@proton101 No, everything between the "// BEGIN CUT HERE" and "// END CUT HERE" lines is stripped out from the source code before sending it to the TopCoder Arena, so there is no risk of a UCR penalty because of the test harness.
@proton101 Sorry, I didn't see your comment until now, that somebody else commented and took a look at the comment section. The answer is no, when I submit my code it doesn't include the test code with the test cases, so I don't lose points because of UCR.

@proton101 I should go back to solving problems in the practice rooms, I'm getting rusty.

I'm using FileEdit but I do not know how to use all the functionality of that add-in.
What's the best editor for C#? My default programming language is C# but I can also work with Java. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm using KawigiEdit as my text editor but other functionalities of that plugin gives me errors.

@proton101 I can't help you there, I've never used KawigiEditor.

BTW, when you pass your solution, do the plugin will also pass together with your test code like on your video?
