Introduction

HPE CodeWars isn’t just another coding competition—it’s a high-speed, adrenaline-pumping battle of wits where logic, strategy, and resilience come together. But what does it take to truly shine? Who better to answer than the past winners themselves?

We gathered insights from video testimonials of CodeWars champions, and here’s what they had to say about crushing the competition. Whether you’re a first-time participant or a seasoned coder, these tips will help you level up your game and make the most of the challenge!

Strategy & Time Management: Code Smart, Not Just Fast!

  1. Prioritize Wisely – Don’t rush headfirst into the hardest problems! Secure quick points by starting with easier ones, then move to medium and hard questions based on your strengths.
  2. Don’t Get Stuck – If a problem feels like an unsolvable riddle, step away and come back later. A fresh perspective can work wonders!
  3. Master Time Constraints – Set a personal timer for each problem during practice. This helps simulate real competition pressure and improves your decision-making speed.

HPE CodeWars 2025 Think before you code! Code with a calm mind and has to attempt all the code in calm mind.

Problem-Solving Approach: Think Before You Code!

  1. Break It Down – If a problem looks monstrous, slice it into smaller, digestible parts. Solve them step by step instead of trying to tackle it all at once.
  2. 80/20 Rule – Spend 80% of your time strategizing the best algorithm and only 20% actually writing the code. Efficiency is key!
  3. Beware of Edge Cases – Sometimes, a problem looks easy but has hidden traps. Always test your solution with multiple input scenarios.

Preparation & Practice: The Grind Pays Off!

  1. Consistency Wins – Daily problem-solving, even in small amounts, helps sharpen your skills over time.
  2. Expand Your Horizons – Solve problems from multiple platforms like Codingal, LeetCode, CodeForces, and HackerRank to build versatility.
  3. Quality Over Quantity – Instead of solving hundreds of random problems, focus on truly understanding different problem patterns.

Stay calm and stay focused during the competition and don't rush up into the codes - HPE CodeWars 2025

Mindset & Resilience: Stay Calm, Stay Focused!

  1. Keep Your Cool – Debugging under pressure is nerve-wracking, but don’t let errors shake you. Read error messages carefully and troubleshoot step by step.
  2. Document Your Thought Process – Keep notes on how you approached a problem. This helps recognize patterns and recall solutions in future contests.
  3. Failure = Growth – Not ranking high? No worries! Each competition is a learning opportunity that makes you a stronger coder for the next round.
