 Couple months ago. I made this video about how To practice lead code and all that other stuff guys, and then I realized okay Yeah, you shouldn't be doing so many easy problems on lead code because then otherwise you're not gonna progress at all Like if I just go on lead code and do a bunch of easy problems. I'm not gonna progress at all I'm not gonna learn anything new about algorithms, and I'm just gonna be here. It's talking with the same same Same understanding of how the how algorithms work If I do a bunch of these easy problems a while they add they added a bunch of new easy problems But if I do a bunch of easy problems, and then you realize oh what the hell am I doing? I just only solved a hundred easy problems hundred twenty five easy problems, and I'm not actually improving myself in my type of 120 106 easy problems, and I I'm not actually improving anything on lead code And then now what when I when I check on my code forces thing I just realized oh wow you guys could check on your code forces by the way on code drills But I just checked on why I solved 245 and I'm still in the same ranking of really shitty 770 and that this 770 means that I barely could solve the first question on the first question of Code forces that means that I haven't I don't solve it That much so so here's the thing that I have to tell you guys that when you're practicing these problems You can't just be like Like here here's okay So let's say Let's say you go on code for drills right and you type in your handle And then you find the problems that you have trouble with it analyzes the problems You have trouble with and you do this and you go on the weak topics and you start doing these problems The thing is that if you do too many easy problems, you're not actually going to do anything You're not going to improve yourself. You're not going to do anything new and stuff like that So then what do you do you go on the medium problems? You try to solve the medium problems and then what you realize that over time over time let's let's say let's say I go here and I'm going to type in my my My handle on code forces, which is code code drills it. No, not code drills code forces visualizer. Yeah, you could type this up All right, type in your handle here and then now you realize oh damn I only solved I've been solving 69 800 level problems and then I only solved 41 a thousand level problems and I'm trying to increase my ranking to at least Green right. I'm trying to increase my ranking to at least back to pupil 1383 and in order to do that I actually have to start solving be able to solve these 1300 problems very quickly. So if I if I'm able to solve 69 problems 800 level problems super duper quickly and that means that I solve 148 problems I have to be able to solve These type of problems at least C or D these these type of problems I have to solve ABC fast and then I have to solve C So if I solve ABC fast and solve C then I'll be able to increase my ranking and be able to do whatever the hell I want and then get back to get back to pupil Which I'm so desperately trying to increase my ranking too because look at how abysmal my my whole my whole Thingy is like right here So that's the thing guys is that you can't just solve problems I was super duper easy the for the thing is that when you're on code forces when you're trying to solve problems What happens is that when you go on these problems and you start trying to solve them and then you can't figure them out? What do you do? What wouldn't most people do? Well, what most people do is they go on the Tutorial they go down here hit the tutorial button and then what they do is they look at the Code and then they just copy and paste the code and not actually learn anything at all So like if I just did here and then I did okay tiling Challenge I read here. Okay, though. That's what it is. I don't just copy and paste and then By the beam by the boom and I just get a seat Okay, like you don't learn anything at that point You're not actually learning anything not learning any new algorithms at that point right here here the point here is to try to Basically, it's be an increase your level of problem-solving. So what what I propose you guys do is actually Stop and don't don't try to solve ups. Don't try to solve problems like this way Okay, don't go on code drills and starts from solving these problems I mean you should it's a good idea to solve medium problems, right? Don't solve easy problems solve medium problems But what you really should be doing is actually going into contests and participating in every single contest and trying to up solve the Ones that you couldn't solve right? So if I go back to and I can't participate any virtual for some reason I don't know why that that's the case, but let's say I go to Jim. I'm like, oh damn all these these these problems Not not Jim. It's this other one. I Don't know. I don't know why I can't go to a virtual participation. I go here Whatever, okay, so like let's I go here and I do a virtual participation right here right now And then like now I realize okay now I have to solve this in two hours And if I can't solve any of the problems well, then all of them once I look at the editorial do not copy the code What you should be doing is that you read the editorial you try to implement yourself and you submit it as many times as possible If you can't submit it yourself Something's wrong right like if you if you if you're copying code. That's not the right way to do it Do not I repeat do not copy and paste code on code forces on lead code any of that stuff All right, you're not gonna learn anything if you just copy and paste you're not actually learning anything and if you just memorize a code You're not learning anything either because like why why would you right? So that's that's what I just wanted to tell you guys like this is just like a huge huge that thing that where it's like, okay It's just like what's the point? What's the point of copying pasting the code? I want to tell you guys how to actually solve these problems. So that's the reason why I made this video It's it's I don't I'm just rambling right now. Yeah, hope you guys enjoy this video Just please please don't just like copying and paste code like that doesn't help you at all So yeah, great cops subscribe. I'll check you guys later. Please peace
