You need to know discrete maths, and DSA.
But as you see, seeing the editorial and learning the algorithms is itself a process of learning. Since you are in the learning stage , try the problem , if you don’t get learn the problem and do it again.
Start from easy-medium and go to difficult level.
Take part in contest actively.See the editorial and try to improve your coding style.
And keep practicing , when you learn a new concept of algorithms , try doing problem of similar type and get a good hold of it.
After some time you will be able to do difficult problems , without seeing the editorial.
Good Luck!
