C/С++ Fundamentals for Competitive Programming

Dear school students, university students, and teachers,

The academic year has come to an end. I hope everyone has successfully completed their exams and managed to take a short break after this intense study period.

During June and July, I plan to run an intensive C programming course in the form of fast-paced training sessions. The format will be as follows: three contests per week, most likely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Each contest will include up to 20 problems, allowing participants to systematically practice and steadily improve their skills. We will start from the very basics — input and output — and then move on to conditional statements, loops, arrays, strings, and functions.

In addition to the basic tasks, each contest will also include several more challenging thematic problems to keep the course engaging for participants of different levels and to provide opportunities for deeper development.

The first contest will start on June 5.

These contests are based on the course Programming Principles 1, which is taught by the author at ADA University, School of IT and Engineering.

I will be glad to see everyone in the course and hope it will help you strengthen your knowledge and improve your programming skills.
