How you propelled in leetcode? Any tips and tricks?
I made a lot of mistakes. I didn't even know first there were defined set of concepts and algorithms. Learned this very late and started doing it. I am solving problems but I still feel not confident and failing tests. Any tips and tricks which worked out for you? Please any help is appreciated.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑There are total of 14-15 topics that are important.
Say for example you are learning binary search, solve problem then solve similar problem then solve another problem same topic. Once enough problems are solved in 1 topic and you can solve a new problem within 20 mins you are good to go to next topic.
Then let’s say you’ve picked DP, keep grinding dp questions again and again until you can solve dp problems in 20 mins.
Few notes
Don’t get discourage by leetcode contest because a lot of ppl are cheating nowadays using llm. Test yourself against your past performances.
If you have never done dsa before, it’ll take some time. Practice practice practice that’s the only way, always upsolve the questions don’t run behind the number of problems solved. It’s always quality above quantity.
This is your own journey be honest, be patient, don’t give up.
Thanks man! I guess I just jump shifted one topic to another topic without much practice and watched some YT Playlist. I guess that won't help me prepare interview kinda environment. LC contest is must ig to improve on.
