Codeforces-QuickBuild for VS Code (linux)

This is a parser - buildtool for codeforces.

Currently supports C and C++

Functionalities

1. Inbuilt parser that scrapes input and output test-cases of all questions of a particular contest.

2. Displays compiler and run time errors on Output.txt.

3. code can be compiled and tested against all provided input test-cases (scraped) to check for correctness. This is shown in Output.txt

4. Provide custom input test cases.

Procedure

1. Clone this repo.

2. Open this folder as work-space in VS Code. (code . in terminal)

3. Make necessary changes to template.cpp ( present inside .vscode ). This acts as your default .cpp file for all problems of a contest.

4. Now, use the keybinding ctrl+shift+b, and select Create Files.

5. Use ctrl+shift+` to open integrated terminal in vs code. Here type in ./parse.py (contest_name) (eg../parse.py 4) to download all the test-cases (input and output) of that particular contest.

6. To open codespace for question A, using the keybindings ctrl+p and type in A.cpp

7. To open Output.txt by using the keybindings ctrl+p and type Output.txt

8. To build and test-run code on given test-cases, use ctrl+shift+b and select codeforces builder.

9. Custom test-cases can be provided on Input.txt. Follow step 7 and instead of Output.txt, search for Input.txt
