Competitive Programming Tools

My tools for programming competitions.

My data structures and algorithms have a new home: https://github.com/Hegdahl/competitive-programming-lib

> cpt --help

Usage: cpt [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Entry point for all cpt commands.

  Run `cpt COMMAND --help` for more info about the command.

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:

Example usage

Platform support

No.

I only tested this on my own computer running linux.

Installation

Install python3, pip, and g++.
Clone this repository
cd into it
run this (maybe pip3 instead of pip depending on platform)

> pip install -e .

Figure out where pip put the scripts and add that folder to $PATH. In my case that would be adding this to my .bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/

Then there are some environment variables competitive-programming-tools expects you to set:

TEMP:            temporary directory, typically /tmp
CPT_EXPAND_PATH: directories for which to expand includes,
                 separated by ':'

Tips and Tricks

Expanding local includes

The command

cpt expand file.cpp

prints the content of file.cpp with local includes (from the directory include in competitive programming tools) replaced with their contents recursively. This allows you to put data structures and algorithms in their own files and include instead of copy pasting.

Here is how i use it:

nnoremap <F9> :w<enter>:!echo %:p \| cpt expand - --tmp-file \| wl-copy<enter><enter>
nnoremap <F10> :w<enter>:!echo %:p \| cpt expand - \| wl-copy<enter><enter>
