How to approach a DSA problem:

๐Ÿญ. ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฏ:
- Read the problem two times. Solve the examples using pen and paper and check if your answers match. Calculate the time complexity and see if it matches the constraints. If your algorithm approach is correct, attempt the question. If not, you have 45 minutes โ€“ set a timer and move to the next step.

๐Ÿฎ. ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป:
- Go to the discussion section and check the top solutions. Look for a solution that will help you get the job, not a fancy or exotic one. Focus on a simple approach, study it properly, and youโ€™ll start seeing patterns. Use that pattern and implement the solution.

๐Ÿฏ. ๐—œ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป:
- Solve the suggested problems. This way, youโ€™ll learn multiple patterns. DSA works on patterns, not just learning. Focus on basic problems to improve your pattern recognition and then solve more problems related to that pattern to clear your concepts.

๐Ÿฐ. ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฌ/๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฒ:
- Solve the 20% of problems that are asked in 80% of interviews. Use Blind 75 or Neetcode 150. Check the company-specific discussion forums on Leetcode to see which questions are being asked recently. Focus on those questions, especially around common topics like graphs or dynamic programming, because companies tend to repeat similar questions. This will help you prepare better.

๐Ÿฑ. ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†:
- Solve quality questions that will help clarify your fundamentals. Copy-pasting solutions wonโ€™t help. Jump to medium-level questions, as most interview questions are of medium difficulty. Aim for 65% accuracy, and once you reach that, move on to harder questions. This will build your confidence and improve your problem-solving skills.
