Competitive programming often looks like a race to write code as fast as possible. But the real secret is simpler: the best competitive programmers are not just faster typists — they are better at choosing the right data structure, the right algorithm, and the right complexity level for the job.
Before we jump into recursion, dynamic programming, graphs, or those problems that make your brain do backflips, we need a solid base. This first session is exactly that.
Let's begin. 🚀
1. Data Types: What Kind of Data Are You Storing?
A data type tells a programming language what kind of value a variable holds and what operations are valid on it.
