Question

I want to practice problem solving in C/C++. But I want to avoid writing the whole program from scratch. Is there any website where they give me puzzles and the code skeleton along with it and expect me to only fill a function or two to solve the problem at hand? This would save a lot of time and I can concentrate only on the problem solving part.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I don’t know any website that works the way you said, but most of these is just simples. You just have to read from standard input and print to standard output.

• http://www.spoj.pl/
• http://www.topcoder.com/
• http://code.google.com/codejam/

Also, most of the problems of the same site will work the same way, so once you solve your first problem, you just have to use its skeleton to solve others.
