Completed 400+ Problems on LeetCode
Hey everyone!
I’m excited to share that I recently crossed the milestone of solving 400+ problems on LeetCode! It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey, and I couldn’t wait to reflect on my experiences and insights.
The Journey So Far
When I first started solving problems on LeetCode, I was overwhelmed by the variety of topics and difficulties. However, I quickly realized that this platform offers an excellent way to sharpen my coding skills and prepare for technical interviews.
I’ve tackled a variety of problems across multiple categories, including:
- Arrays: One of the foundational data structures, arrays have been key in understanding how to manipulate collections of data.
- Strings: Working with strings has taught me about character manipulation and the importance of string algorithms.
- Hashmaps: These data structures have been indispensable for optimizing solutions and understanding key-value pair associations.
- Linked Lists: I learned about node structures and pointer manipulation, which are crucial for many technical concepts.
- Trees: Exploring binary trees and tree traversal algorithms has been both challenging and fascinating.
- Graphs: I delved into graph theory, learning about traversal techniques like BFS and DFS.
- Dynamic Programming: Perhaps the most challenging area, dynamic programming has taught me to think critically about breaking down problems into simpler subproblems.
Consistency is Key
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the value of consistency. Dedicating time each day to solve problems has helped me build a strong problem-solving habit. Whether it’s a small daily commitment or a longer weekend session, every bit of practice counts!
Sharing Knowledge
For anyone just starting or already deep into solving problems, I’d love to help out! Feel free to ask any questions you may have about:
- Problem-solving techniques: I can share strategies that have worked for me and resources that can aid your journey.
- Language choices: I’ve worked with various programming languages and can offer insights on which might suit your needs best.
- Staying consistent: If you’re struggling with motivation, I can share tips on how to keep yourself on track.
Looking Ahead
As I continue this journey, I’m also focusing on improving my contest rating. Competitions can be a great way to test your skills under pressure and learn new techniques. My plan includes:
- Participating regularly in contests to gain real-time problem-solving experience.
- Reviewing past contest problems to understand where I struggled and how I can improve.
- Engaging with the community to share insights and learn from others’ approaches.
I’m looking forward to the discussion and helping out the community! Let’s support each other in our coding journeys.
