What is Competitive Programming?
Competitive Programming is a competition between the community of coders, solving complex algorithmic problems in a limited amount of time and based on that they will be graded. Programmers do competitive programming to increase their problem-solving skills. Competitive Contests are hosted by many websites like w3wiki, CodeForces, and CodeChef, where highly skilled coders participate and got ranked among the participants after solving the complex algorithmic questions in a limited time.
Competitive Programming will help programmers to practice data structures and algorithms. Also, almost every MNCs check the problem-solving skills of candidates before hiring them and they conduct the coding test which is similar to competitive programming and there is at least 1 coding interview based on data structures and algorithm to check their Problem-solving skills.

How to Focus on Competitive Programming and Web Development Together?
I am 6 Star Coder!
I am 5 Star Coder! Can I crack SDE job by doing CP only?But I don’t know about web development?
You have heard these lines from your friends….. or you are facing the same situation.
Learning new technology is always exciting and challenging at the same time. Adding new skills is always a Plus point for a candidate, and learning a most demanding technology would be the cherry on the cake. Even after being good at problem-solving or competitive programming, it is equally important for a candidate to have experience in projects and vice-versa to gain an advantage over other candidates. Companies do multiple interview rounds to check a candidate’s DSA and project knowledge.
Since Web Development is an ever-growing and interesting field to explore and has a large community, a candidate can make projects in it and there is no secret about how important are Problem-solving and logic-building skills. In this article, we will discuss how can you do Competitive Programming and Web Development together. But before directly jumping onto that let’s first discuss what is Competitive programming and Web Development.
