is the beginner level question of codechef enough to build concept of competitive programming for zonal computing Olympiad.

Hello aspirant!

Codechef is one of the best and the most competitive platforms to enhance your programming skills and improve the way of algorithmic thinking. The questions in codechef are not direct coding questions but it is encompassed as real-life application problem statements in which you need to identify the constraints, steps, data strucutres to be used and then code your program.

However, just clearing the beginer level will not be enough. The beginner level is not really tough and it covers only the basics of programming. So I would rather suggest you to also try intermediate level questions. You need not stick to just codechef, but can try even other platforms as well like hackerrank or hackerearth. Also geeks for geeks is the one of the best platforms to cover variety of topics.

All the best!

Dear Aspirant, the zonal computing Olympiad is not very tough. The crucial questions are not asked much. You need to have the basic knowledge basic algorithms of searching, sorting, a few basic graph algorithms like DFS, BFS and standard dynamic programming problems. Binary search, divide and conquer and greedy algorithms are asked most of the time. You can find the problems comparable to easy Codechef and Codeforces A problems. You can prepare from codechef, that is more than sufficient. Instead of beginner level try to get hands on in medium level as well..

Hope this was helpful.
