Got the book "Competitive Programming 3" from lulu.com yesterday. Here's the supporting site for the book. The ebook is not going to be available until next year :( which is not a good thing for me. I like to search for content and the ebook would have been really good. I have the first edition of the ebook (bought it in place of buying the 2nd edition by mistake.) The first edition of the ebook is available for free from the supporting site.
This took about 23 days from the order date to reach India. Check the home page before you place the order because lulu could be offering some discounts. I did not check and probably lost saving 5%.
Lots of learning ahead.
Bought 2 more copies for my friends :-). Because of this book, I have solved 108 UVa problems now (5-Dec-2013)

Hi Sai,
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to first try out the problems and then start looking at others' code. Have you tried any problems? If so, post your code on github and send me a link. Well, all my solutions are available on github here: https://github.com/nnovoice/acmuva. Here's my friend Praveen's source: https://github.com/bhatpraveen/acmuva.
Best of luck with the problems.
