This course is designed for beginners who want help getting started with the Indian Computing Olympiad.

We will focus on the basics of programming, problem solving, and the kind of thinking needed to approach ZCO problems with confidence.

The course is meant to help you build a strong foundation, understand common ideas clearly, and get comfortable solving problems on your own.
