Programming Tips

You will need to focus on following programming areas for the competition:

Good problem solving skills. An intuition for programming.

Good grasp on recursion.

Well versed in basic number theory. The things most of the people know at this stage are suffcient

Arrays. And their novel uses.

String Manipulation.

Filing. Ability to read multiple data sets from a text file and to
separate data items on a single line. This is very necessary as
problem inputs must be read from files.
