How to practice #datastructures and #algorithm #problems or practice #leetcode? Whether we like it or not, that's the norm to get into any SWE position. Here is how at-least I try to do and has worked well for me. The grind, the struggle: Allocate a fixed time each day. Over time, these incremental efforts compound into substantial progress. Quality over Quantity: It’s tempting to rush through a multitude of problems, but quality trumps quantity. Focus on understanding the underlying concepts. Dive deep into the problem-solving process. Variety: LeetCode offers an extensive array of problems—easy, medium, and hard. Don’t shy away from the challenging ones. They stretch your mind and foster growth. Aim for breadth by exploring different topics (arrays, graphs, dynamic programming, etc.) and depth by revisiting problems periodically. Learn from Others: Engage with the community, go about stackoverflow or multitude of websites. Read others’ solutions, understand their thought processes, and learn from their approaches. Collaborate in forums, participate in contests, and absorb insights. Track Progress: Maintain a log. Note down the problems you’ve solved, the techniques you’ve learned, and the stumbling blocks you’ve encountered. Celebrate small victories—whether it’s acing a previously daunting problem or grasping a new algorithm. May have to repeat: As you persistently tackle LeetCode problems, you’ll notice patterns. Concepts will become second nature. Confidence will replace uncertainty. Remember, even the best coders started with humble beginnings. Takes time: LeetCode isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. Balance it with other aspects of life—work, hobbies, rest. Patience is your ally. Some problems may stump you initially, but with time, you’ll crack them. One problem at a time guys!! 🚀
