Panda Code Snippet

Panda Code Snippet is a VS Code extension that brings Emmet-style abbreviations to C++ competitive programming (support for Java, Python, and more coming soon!).

Instead of typing out long boilerplate, vector declarations, or algorithms, you can type a shortcode like !cpp or !dijkstra and hit Tab to instantly expand it into full C++ code!

Features

• 60+ Abbreviations: Covers everything from basic boilerplate to advanced graph algorithms.
• Fast Expansion: Just hit Tab after typing an abbreviation.
• Cheatsheet included: Press Ctrl+Alt+H or click the 🐼 Panda Code Snippet button in the status bar to view all available shortcuts.

Categories

• Boilerplate: !cpp, !cpp+, !vector
• Functions: !f(name.ret.nargs) e.g., !f(addsum.int.2)
• Conditionals: !if1, !if2, !ifelse1, !ifelse2 (supports N conditions)
• Loops: !for1(i0+), !for*2(i0+,j0+) (Nested for loops)
• Data Structures: !v, !v2, !map, !pq, !stack, !set, !llist, !dsu, !fenwick, !sparse
• Algorithms: !bs (Binary Search), !2ptr, !window, !sort
• DP: !dp1d, !dp2d
• Graph: !graph, !bfs, !dfs, !dijkstra, !bellman, !floyd, !kruskal, !prim, !topo
• Strings: !kmp, !rabin, !zfunc, !manacher
• Math/Number Theory: !sieve, !gcd, !modpow, !ncr
• Trees: !tree, !bst, !trie, !segtree
• Competitive/IO: !tc, !freopen, !debug, !all

How to Use

1. Open any .cpp or .c file.
2. Type an abbreviation (e.g., !cpp or //cpp).
3. Press Tab to expand.
4. Use Tab to jump between the variable placeholders (tab stops) in the generated code!

Troubleshooting

• If Tab doesn't expand the code, ensure your file language is set to C++ in the bottom right corner of VS Code.
• You can use either ! or // as the prefix (e.g., !cpp and //cpp both work).
