Seriously though, OP - programming competitions are more about your problem solving skills than your programming knowledge (and your problem solving skills are really what is most important in real life, so that's good).
 
If serious, you need to be able to look at the problem and figure out how to break it down into functional areas.

That is intuition.

After than most any language that you are practiced in will provide you the tools to then attack each functionial area.

If you can not visualize the problem, then stay out of programming as a profession.
 
as long as you mis-spell variable names consistently,
it should still work.

are you entering the Google programming contest ?

Good Luck ! on whichever contest.
 
Yikes, Like everyone else, learn to speak (and write) English first. There is no use in making a program that nobody understands what it is doing because the spelling and grammar it uses is so bad.

For a practice, ummm, write a program that will calculate all prime numbers up to 3000. If you finish that, write a program that will find the lowest common denominator of two fractions. If you finish that, write a program that will add said two fractions.

Now write a simple guess that number game.

Now write a simple game in which the character is attacked by random level monsters and the player has to decide whether to run or fight the monster based on their HP and the monsters HP.

Now calculate pi to the 8th digit.

Is that enough ideas for you to practice on? If these are too simple then you could develop a pac-man clone.
