hi. i've just started learning pascal and i wish to compete at programming contests like olympiaids, topcoder and so. i'm interested what literature should i get and what's the best way to learn or prepare for competitions. are there any books with solved problems of that type or anything like that? also, some people told me i can't be good with pascal, is that true, should i change the language? thanks.

...Why pascal? I played with pascal a VERY long time ago, it's actually a nice language.. you could spend your time learning C to begin with..

CEMC - Mathematics and Computing Contests - Past Contests

This site has a lot of sample problems, to help prepare for contests. Should apply to pascal but I don't know.
