從迷戀電子遊戲，到迷戀電腦編程

Aaron 今年才上高一。他從小就被認為是個患「多動症」的孩子，每時每刻，無論在家裡，還是在學校，都要搞出些怪事，鬧出些動靜。學校好幾次打電話要家長到校長室去把Aaron領回來。其實也沒什麼了不起的事，凈是些雞毛蒜皮的小事，譬如課堂上老師正講著課，他會突然打個驚天動地的「嗝」，引得哄堂大笑。在家裡，他的姐姐正在作功課，他會冷不丁地悄然把檯燈給關上。惹得姐姐追他，打他，他卻高興極了，一邊抵擋，一邊哈哈大笑。後來諮詢了醫生 ，醫生說Aaron這樣的小男孩兒，不能算「多動症」，只能算是喜歡吸引人注意，愛出風頭，表現欲強，好勝心強，這種性格具有兩面性，引導不好就會凈幹壞事，引導的好會出類拔萃。

初中開始，Aaron迷上了電子遊戲，你看他埋頭幾個小時在電腦上，以為他在做作業，哪知竟然一有空就在電腦上玩兒電子遊戲，甚至上課時也玩兒。他媽媽給他的電腦上加了個軟體時間鎖，限制他每天玩遊戲時間。哪知這小子竟在網上學習到如何把鎖打開。

有了手機，就更是如魚得水，晚上躺在被窩裡把頭蒙上，一玩兒就幾個小時。

Aaron的媽媽和朋友們交流時，朋友建議她還不如試試把他的興趣引導到編程方面來。於是給他報了個coding的業餘課程，誰知他一下子就迷上了，整天廢寢忘食，還自己到處找coding的題目加強練習。受coding課上的朋友引導，後來參加到Codeforces學校，這可是正規的大學入門課程。最近一次考試，竟能和高三同學媲美，受到學校表彰，還採訪了他們母子，錄製了一檔節目「如何把你的孩子從迷戀電子遊戲引導到迷戀電腦編程」，迷戀電子遊戲可是個困擾了許多家庭的大問題。

幾天前，Aaron在Codeforce網站上，發表了他的第一篇博客，談Codeforce初學者的Tips，全文如下，后附Chat GTP的中文譯文供參考：

Are you a beginner in the exciting world of competitive programming? Are you just learning the basics and foundations of competitive programming? Are you ready to face the exciting yet challenging obstacles of competitive programming? Look no further! In this blog post, we shall dive into some valuable tips and tricks in order to help you get started on Codeforces. Whether you're aiming to improve your problem-solving skills or climb up the ranks and surpass Benq, these tips will set you on the right path for success.

First and foremost, practice is key! Regular activity on Codeforces will improve your coding abilities significantly and expose you to unique algorithms and data structures. Start with simpler problems and gradually progress to more challenging ones. It is always important to understand the logic behind each solution and analyze the efficiency of your code.

Next, familiarize yourself with common algorithms and data structures. Algorithms like binary search, sorting, and dynamic programming, along with data structures such as arrays, maps/dictionaries, and graphs, form the building blocks of competitive programming. Study their properties, time complexities, and implementation details. This could be done by going out of your comfort zone to look for problems while also learning new algorithm and data structures that associate with problems that are challenging for you. Understanding problem statements thoroughly is a very crucial step to solving a problem. Read them multiple times to learn the requirements accurately. Identify the input and output constraints, edge cases, and potential traps that come your way >:D. Break down complex problems into smaller subproblems (yes this is a dynamic programming reference), and consider writing pseudocode before diving into the implementation. Developing a structured approach will help you avoid common mistakes and save time debugging (ew!).

During contests, time management plays an extremely vital role. Spend sufficient time on each problem based on their difficulty. If you're stuck on a problem, don't waste too much time on that problem. Move onto unattempted problems and come back later in order to gain new insights to help you solve them.

Sometimes, solving more straightforward problems first can boost your confidence, provide valuable hints for other tougher problems, and build a basic foundation for your coding path. Actively participate in the Codeforces community.

Interacting with fellow programmers through discussions, forums, and virtual contests can accelerate your learning. Analyze the solutions of top performers in contests to understand their strategies and techniques. Don't hesitate to ask questions to the awesome (and supportive!) community or seek help when you're stuck on challenging problems :c. Remember, learning from others is an key part of your coding journey.

Lastly, maintain a positive and growth mindset. Competitive programming can be challenging (extremely at times!), and obstacles are inevitable. Use failure as opportunities in order to further learn, improve, and enhance your coding skills. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem (even after solving a problem!). Consistency and perseverance are key to long-term progress and improvement. Believe in yourself and keep pushing your boundaries for improvement. As you embark on your competitive programming journey on Codeforces and other platforms, remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint (metaphor!). Embrace the learning process, practice diligently, and stay motivated. With time, lots of dedication, and these tips in your mind, you'll gradually unlock new levels of proficiency and achieve your goals! Good luck on your competitive programming career, and make sure to reach out to me if this either helped or motivated you!
