● Click The Problems tab
Problems list
3 Difficulty Levels
● Easy
○ Basic problems to warm up (e.g. search for a number in a sorted array)
○ A good tool to speed up coding skills
● Medium
○ These are the core and most important problems
● Hard
○ Out of scope most of the time during the course
■ Also rarely comes in interviews, especially lengthy text or code problems
○ Hard problems are important for competitive programming. But better do hard problems from
other OJs (e.g. Codeforces)
● Label Accuracy: You will encounter some problems with inaccurate labels
Filtering Topics
● From tags: you can choose to concentrate exclusively on topics of interest
● In the 'Difficulty' tab, you can sort them from easy to medium to hard
● Notice that Problem #314 is only available for premium subscription
Solutions & Frequency tabs
● Solutions
○ Some problems have text solutions
○ Some problems have video + text solutions
○ There are also problems without solutions!
○ There are free and 'paid content' solutions
■ There are many solutions on GeeksforGeeks
■ There are also many YouTube videos
● Frequency
○ Subscriber only
○ You can get information on general frequency
○ And even frequency for a specific company
Open a problem
● 4 tabs
● The Discussions tab is a great one: you can check if other people have
alternative or more succinct solutions. Occasionally, an idea/code in this tab is
superior to that of the editorial
○ Submissions with many languages. Search for your preferred language
● Avoid problems that are seriously hated by others
Problem Solving part
● From the menu, select your language
● It generates the function name
● Fill in this code
● In the submission, never include the
main function
● You must use the requested class
name
Problem Solving part: languages
Problem Solving part: C++ Final code
● No main()
● No printing to the screen
● You don’t even need to use #includes
● If they defined a class,
don’t add to submitted code
● For me
○ I code locally
○ Then rename the main to main1
Test and Submit buttons
● Before submitting your code, you can run some of the test cases
○ Copy-paste from the problem.
○ Strictly follow the available style
○ Sometimes it is hard to understand the test case structure
Result
● If 'Failed', you can
check out the
relevant test cases
● If successful, there
is a time and
memory comparison
with other solutions
○ If your code already
has good
complexity, don't
waste much time
