"Think twice, code once"

Overview

I use this repository as a study playground for programming contests, which contains my personal notes and implementations. Note that this is a publish-only repository, so all pull requests will be ignored.

The folders structure is following:

• notebook: well-explained implementation of general-purpose algorithms.
• scripts: small scripts for automatizing some repetitive tasks.
• solutions: code of accepted problems, categorized by online judges.
  • README.md: solutions index by themes, containing difficulty, name, description and hint of the problem.
