From 41ebf82c2da6c4bb7c875dad377ad842a6decf78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Zingaro Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 10:54:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] I added a new book that I worked on over the past few years. I wanted to write a data structs/algs book, but to do it using competitive programming problems. It's not a comprehensive IOI/ICPC bootcamp like other books already listed here, but I hoped to complement those books with a book that moves more slowly and helps would-be competitors get started with both data structs/algs and competitive programming. It's been received well by past IOI participants. I hope it can be listed here in whatever way makes sense.
