Gain insights into competitive programming, explore C++ skills with theory, code samples, practice problems, and master faster implementation for contests like ACM ICPC, Google CodeJam, and HackerCup.

Competitive programming can be a great way to build out your programming skills, get on any major company’s radar, and earn a little extra cash along the way.

In this course, you will learn to prepare for competitive programming contests like ACM ICPC, Google CodeJam, Facebook HackerCup, and many more.

Each topic is broken down with a healthy mix of theory, code samples, step-by-step solved sample problems, illustrations, useful practice problems, and tips and tricks for faster implementation.

You will need some solid C++ foundations coming into this course, but by the end it, you will be confident enough in your C++ skills to take home the win.

Competitive Programming in C++: The Keys to Success

# Algorithm
Starting from the root, we compare the key. If the key is smaller than the root’s key, we search in the left subtree. Similarly, we search in the right subtree if the key is greater than the root’s key.


**Time Complexity**: In the worst case, the key could be the deepest node. So, the  insertion time complexity is $O(height)$ or $O(N)$.
