An excellent way to get started with competitive programming is choosing a programming language, i.e. C++, Java, Python. And master the basics, i.e., in-built functions, stacks and queues, array list, string functions. Study the fundamentals of algorithms and data structures and take advantage of online platforms like Codechef, InterviewBit, Topcoder, SPOJ to learn. Participate in virtual contests hosted in platforms like code forces which will help with your problem-solving skills which will boost your confidence in performing in real-time games. Some great Youtube channels that would help in gaining some useful tips are Scalar Academy, Gaurav Sen, Rachit Jain. read less

For competitive programming the best language will be C++. This is due to the reason that it’s fast and a faster code matters when you need to compete against the world’s top rankers. I will also suggest having Java in your toolbelt because of some added library support which might come handy for certain type of problems (e.g. Big Endian). Once you are clear with the basics of C++, you can get started by solving the problems on SPOJ by increasing order of difficulty Sphere Online Judge (SPOJ). After around 20 problems the algorithmic problems will get started. Those will require you to learn some basic algorithms among the categories of search, sort etc. You can look it up on topcoder tutorials. read less
