after this course from which website should i start competitive programming and what should be the path i should follow
Query regarding practising platform
hi @Parmeet-Kalsi-1631789033630118 there are plenty of websites for practicing questions like leetcode, codechef, codeforces, SPOJ, hackerearth, hackerrank, atcoder, the list goes on.
I find it best to participate in contests and upsolve the questions later, which I couldnt solve during the contest. You can pick any past contests too. If you want some topic specific questions, most of the questions have tags so you can search with the help of that.
After you are done with the question(solved it completely) you can also look at other’s submissions and editorial solutions to look for alternate approaches, or look on youtube for its solutions, you will often find great explanations.
Also geeksforgeeks is a great resource and it has articles for almost everything. If anything is unclear you can always look up that topic from some other souce.
after this launchpad course am i ready for cp or i need to do some more topics before proceeding to cp.
should i directly jump to contests or first solve some questions topicwise.
which one to choose hackerrank or hackerearth.
is cp really required for cracking companies or i can simply get away with them by doing gfg questions.

CP has a vast array of topics, even if you spend years doing CP there will still be some new topics to learn. So start practicing questions and learn new concepts as and when you come across them.
You will practice a lot of questions in the course itself, you can try contests after this and upsolve those questions which you could not do. This step is extremely important as it is crucial to learning new concepts.
For interview preparation, CP is important as but it is not the only thing that is needed so you need to focus in other areas as well. But to get an edge over others having a good grasp of Data Structures and Algotrithms is important.
So which online platform you recommend to do after this course??
Is there any need to join the competitive course or its just like start solving and get to know everything through questions you solve??
@Parmeet-Kalsi-1631789033630118 first finish this course and then you can decide what path you want to follow
