Codeforces support

Codeforces is a platform that hosts multiple programming contests for beginners and seasoned developers eager to compete with each other and to prove their coding skills. One of these contests is Kotlin Heroes, a series of tasks designed to put your Kotlin coding abilities to the test.

Now when you take on challenges from various contests featured at Codeforces, you can solve them right inside your favorite IDE, via the EduTools plugin. Use all the perks JetBrains IDEs have to offer to write smarter code and go through the contest with ease.

You can open the contest directly via its URL, or browse the available contests and select one or more that you’re interested in. Go to File | Learn and Teach | Start Codeforces Contest:

When you’re ready and your code has passed all the tests, click on Submit Solution to submit the challenges you’ve solved straight to Codeforces. You will be redirected back to the Codeforces site, where you may need to log in if you haven’t done so already.

Insert your task solution (which was already copied to clipboard), and then specify which problem you’ve solved and what language you’ve used.
