The Programming Contest Training Manual Steven S. Skiena is a study book focused on training international programming skills using contest problems. This book uses challenging questions from international programming competitions to improve algorithmic thinking and programming.
Description
Programming contests offer unique opportunities to develop problem-solving ability and efficient coding. This book contains more than 100 carefully selected problems from international programming contests, including backgrounds and theories needed to solve them successfully. Online judging enables direct feedback, promoting learning and training.
The problem set is compiled from thousands of submissions on the Universidad de Valladolid online judge, meaning only the most challenging and educational problems are included. This makes the book exceptionally suitable for self-study, education, and preparation for programming contests at the international level.
