 What's up guys Mike the coder here today? I just want to ask you guys a question. Why do competitive programming? I was just thinking about like there are other ways to do to learn algorithms to try to improve your interview skills like you could do You could just get a you just do problems on CLRS. You could do lead code I mean, there's a ton of other ways to to improve your algorithm skills So I just want to ask you guys a question. Why do you do competitive programming? Why do competitive programming in the first place? Are you trying to compete in your school's programming competition? like ICPC are you trying to You know improve your interview skills and competitive programming has a side effect that improves your Algorithm thinking and interview skills, or are you just here to solve problems for fun? I just want to solve problems for fun and you enjoy the thrill of finally solving problems So personally for me I do competitive programming because I just want to I think it It's a fun way to learn new algorithms You know, it's fun way to learn new problems and how to approach problems if you do all a lot of these problems it's a fun way to learn and To me it's more it's more thrilling when you finally try so hard on a problem and get finally get a seed So that's pretty pretty fun for me But uh, yeah, let me know in the comment section down below. Why do you guys do competitive programming? Are you trying to increase your interview skills? Are you trying to find a job? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to compete in your school competition? Let me know down in this comment section below and then we could have a conversation. So yeah Anyway, I just want to make that video today and yeah peace
