I didn't do much CP in college, but after doing enough LeetCode; reaching expert on CF was a mere cakewalk. Took me a few more months to reach CM and I am pretty sure had I been consistent with CF I would've reached Master in another 6-8 months! Mostly people would complain about how hard it is to move from LC to CF. Well it isn't! If you've actually covered all the topics in detail you pretty much don't need a lot to reach at least 1900 on CF (which rn is ~top 300 across India); the only difference I found in problems was the adhoc nature of CF problems and obviously their inclination towards maths. LC isn't bad it's just that most people still copy paste solutions without even understanding how the algorithm actually works, and how it can be tweaked for other use-cases. This puts them in a situation where the only thing they can flaunt is number of problems solved! #leetcode #cp #codeforces #dsa #coding
It wasn't the case for me at least , I did it the other way around but i do agree with the fact that people don't try to understand how & why a particular solution works .
I just hope Flaunting number of questions solved on leetcode should not be a thing in 2024.
It's true. Instead of copy pasting just for increasing no. of questions, It's important to understand algorithm behind a problem.
leetcode is the best... even i strarted from leetcode, then went to codeforces... Now i just do leetcode 😂 . Circle completes here
Wtf is that growth graph 🤯
Yes the ad hoc problem in cf!!!! By time observation skill will increase dunno how but yes xd
Thanks for actual insights ❣️

8moTrue. Most of the profiles I have seen have mostly 500+ problems solved but they are solving hardly one or two problems in the LC contest. I am thinking of starting cf because I solved some cf problems and I really liked that. Would like to know your opinion on this.
