Do i have to learn programming to excel in combinatorics??
I have seen adib hasan's(bronze medalist) advice regarding combii the only thing he stressed was programming :?: :?: (I don't know even basic python or c :( :( )
Hmm..Hammer...Treat everything as nail

I am the same as you(No programming XP whatsoever). But in my opinion, it is not a must. Although knowing programming will obviously help you in combi(more or less). I have no doubt about that.
