Setting Up Sublime Text For Competitive Programming In C++

Now let’s setup up Sublime Text for competitive programming !

Sublime Text setup for windows

• Go to toolbar in the sublime text :    Tools > Build System > New Build System
• Now, Paste this following code there and save it :

  "cmd" : ["g++-9 $file_name -o $file_base_name && gtimeout 4s ./$file_base_name<inputf.in>outputf.in"], 
  "selector" : "source.c",
  "shell": true,
  "working_dir" : "$file_path"
}

Now, We setup up the windows –

Use this key combination : Command + option + 3   OR   ⌘ + ⌥ + 3

Now, Write your C++ code in your first window and save it as 1.cpp 

Save the 2nd window as inputf.in and 3rd window as outputf.in . 

Sublime Text setup for Linux

"cmd" : ["g++ -std=c++14 $file_name -o $file_base_name && timeout 4s ./$file_base_name<inputf.in>outputf.in"], 
"selector" : "source.c",
"shell": true,
"working_dir" : "$file_path"
}

Now, We setup up the windows –
