Introduction
What is AlgoZenith ?

Founder -Vivek Gupta(Ex-Google)

AlgoZenith is trying to revolutionize how competitive programming


is learned at school and college levels in India and beyond.

What is AlgoZenith CCP?

The AlgoZenith Campus Connection Program(CCP) is designed to


help students establish a community of like-minded individuals on
their campus who are passionate about programming and
technology.
The CP Culture
CP aka competitive programming
refers to using conginitive thinking Humlog kya denge
Contests
abilities to build efficient logic under a Community Discussion
tight time constraint in a highly Speaker ghapshap
competitive enviroment.Its not only Bumper Prizes !
about fast coding but developing Aplog se kya chahiye
solutions to a problem which is fast
Persistance and grit
and efficient.
Competitive spirit
Proactive participation

What is DSA?
Data Structures: Efficient ways to store
and organize data.

Algorithms: Step-by-step procedures to


perform tasks and solve problems.
What is DSA?
File System
Data Structure: Tree nodes represents
folders or files. Childerns of a folder
node represents subfolders or files
inside that folder
Algorithms:
Creating a folder
Copying things
Delete
How to start ???
1. Choose a programming language (preferably c++)
2. Learn the basics -
a. variable
b. understand input - output
c. loops [for, while, do-while]
d. function
e. array, struct
f. .... [follow any good resource. don’t rush]
How to start ???
1. Start learning about different data structures and
algorithms.
2. Understand intuition, [and proof] of different
algorithms and their time ans space complexities.
3. Practice and apply
a. Practice sites - [LeetCode, GFG etc]
4. Participate in contests regularly and upsolve after
that.
5. That’s all
LeetCode
Probably the best platform

Problem Statement

Code editor

Example test cases

Test Cases
Framework to solve
1. Try to understand the problem
2. [approach]: Think about how can you solve the problem. Think from the first
principles.
3. [Able to think of an solution]
a. [Complexity analysis]: Analyse the time complexity of your approach and
determine whether it will work within the given constraints.
b. [Start Coding]: Only after the previously mentioned steps. While doing this
you have be very clear about what you want to do and how.
👏🏻
c. [AC]: Well done , but sometimes check other people’s solution as well,
you might get to learn something new.
d. [WA or TLE]: Try to find out where it went wrong. LeetCode shows the test
case where it failed but don’t depend on it too much. Reason? Will discuss
this in next slide.
cont.

4. [ ]

a. [See Hints / Topic tags]: See some hints / topic tags and to think in
that direction.
b. [Figured out something]: Go back to step 3
c. [Don’t know about the topic]: Maybe learn that and then comeback
to this question.
d. [else]: See someones solution / youtube video explaining the same.
Figure out why you were not able think that. Maybe you will learn
about some new idea / concept. Understand that properly because
you might have to use that in some other problem.
Example problem

given an array arr and an integer x, find


out the index of last occurance of x,
return -1 if not present.
