C++ and competitive programming: speed, logic and algorithms
Competitive programming is problem solving with code under time limits. C++ is the most common language for it, because it is fast.

What it is
C, C++ and competitive programming in plain words
Students learn the language and then core algorithms: sorting, searching, number theory, greedy methods and dynamic programming. They practise on past olympiad problems and online judges.

FAQ
C, C++ and competitive programming: questions parents ask
Do I need advanced maths?
Some number theory and logic help, and school maths is a good base.
Do you teach C++?
Yes. A teacher from our network who teaches this is matched to your child's age and level before anything is booked.
Can I use Python instead?
Python is allowed in many rounds and easier to start with. C++ is faster for hard problems.
