# NACP CP Beginners Workshop — Documentation

A beginner competitive-programming workshop covering C++ fundamentals through
recursion, complexity, and search techniques. Each session folder contains
the problems, recording (where available), and example scripts for that
session, cross-referenced here.

## Concept_Resources/
Reference material for every concept taught in the workshop with no written
material of its own: basic I/O (cin/cout), strings, pointers, vectors,
recursion, backtracking, binary search, two-pointer technique,
pass-by-reference, divide-and-conquer, and Big-O complexity. Each session
folder's `links.md` points to the specific file(s) relevant to that
session's topics.
