Well, after reading the above description and seeing that there were more than a lakh of participants enrolled for this competition, I thought I will have a go at it. I managed to clear the open round which was comparatively easy. The semifinal round was a bit tough though I could only manage to finish at a modest 876th place out of the 15,000 people who cleared the first round. This was my first coding competition that I have participated, it made me realise how much I love coding and helped me to get back my mojo.
These competitions tests your coding abilities to cover the edge cases as well as having a efficient code. It could be frustrating at times as you don't know what is the edge case that kept failing. The trick is to find such cases, with practice you will be better at it. I could see myself getting better after each stage of the competition.
