What you do ?
Competitive programming (CP) or Functional programming (FP)?
And if you FP then how much competitive programming you think you need in your job or whatever your current scenario is .

Are they even related or am I missing something here?

Uhhh, what?

Son how are these two opposite? I don't think competitive is a paradigm lmfao

You don't need any "Competitive Programming" to get a job. If someone told you that, they lied to you.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

What do you do, drive a car, or eat cake? If you eat cake then how much do you need to drive for your current job?

I only do functional programming.

I personally never saw the use of competitive programming.

I get that some people may like it a lot but it's just not for me.

I'm pretty sure what you think functional programming means is not what it actually means. FP means programming using functions (in the mathematical sense, not as in procedures in C-like languages) as building blocks. Look up Standard ML, Haskell, OCaml, Scala, Clojure etc.

I did a bunch of competitive programming in FP languages (Haskell and OCaml), it was a fun challenge because it's usually something FP sucks at.

I like PP (penile programming) in which I stick my dick into a usb port on a data center server and then fuse with it into one so I can become the best programmer in the whole multiverse and advance civilization into a new era.

@neeno Gives master-slave architecture a whole new meaning

I’ve been accused of liking Competitive Programming a few times because I’m not a crazy leftist.

But really, I prefer Object Oriented to Procedural. I also very much enjoy flirting with Functional.

You mean object oriented?

(For those unaware, my comment has quite a bit of hidden meaning.)

@Root atleast someone got my words ..
