Features: This book collects 26 problems from the 2001 International Informatics Olympiad, National Competition, and Team Selection Competition. The book categorizes the problems by type and provides a brief introduction to the problem-solving approach for each type. It also offers algorithmic analysis for each typical problem, along with detailed descriptions of the solution process. All the solutions have been verified for correctness and time/space efficiency using contest test data. Additionally, it includes coaching materials for the 2001 International Informatics Olympiad Chinese training team. Instead of providing source code directly runnable on a computer, the book uses Pascal, a language closer to natural language, to describe the basic ideas and steps of the algorithms, leaving space for readers to practice on their own.
