dp[n] = 1 + dp[n-d*], where d* is the largest digit in n
- dp[n] = 1 + max𝑑∈𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑠(n) dp[n-d].
- dp[n] = 1 + dp[n-d*], where d* is the smallest digit in n

Welcome to the course : Getting Started with Competitive Programming!!
Dear Learners,
Welcome to the course on Getting Started with Competitive Programming! In this email we will share with you some key links to resources related to the course and a welcome survey, so we request you to bookmark these for reference.
To begin with, as a very important step in getting to know you better, we request you to fill out this survey:
We are conducting a research study on factors that influence performance on Competitive Programming tasks. For this study, we would like to collect ANONYMISED data from the learners of this course. In this form, we request your permission to use your data (anonymously) for this study, and we will really appreciate it if you could share your consent for participation in this study by filling out the form. Many thanks!
Also, as you might know, we have setup a Discord forum where you can meet the instructors and TAs and interact with them in real time:
Discord is a little like WhatsApp but better! If you don't already use it you can just login from the web, or install the app, based on your preference. You can also continue to use the google groups mailing lists, but if you want to have more of a conversation, then we will see you on Discord :) If you have already joined us, that's great, and if not - there are almost 1500 learners and some great conversation in the community already, so do sign up!
The first week's videos are up on Itempool, where you can watch them along with interactive questions:
It's also a delight to introduce you to the TAs of this course:
1. Gaurav Viramgami
2. Sanskar Sharma
3. Nikita Yadav
We will be having two live sessions every week: one focusing on practice problems and one on solutions to problems of the assignments in the current run of the course (to be discussed after the deadline). Please feel free to use either Discord or the mailing list to ask any questions you have.
We look forward to meeting you and we hope that you enjoy the course as much as we have enjoyed putting it together!
Best wishes,
Neeldhara
