Quora Experiment 2019: Week 22

By Duncan Smith Nov 27 0

Quora Experiment 2019

In many Quora questions, people ask what’s required to start competitive programming. It’s not always clear what they’re looking for with these questions, since you don’t need to apply to be a competitive programmer. Online judges are free. Just register and try one out. Here’s a question where the writer is a bit more specific about what they’re asking:

Do I need to be good at algorithms to begin competitive programming or can I start from the bottom and get better by doing? (answer)

Why is this post so short? Find the answer, and links to a blog table of contents, at A Summer 2019 Experiment.
