Your medium and hard problem is very low

[@GregHogg]

@@AdityaKumar-wq3nb Very low? That's going to be very discouraging for most people watching... I doubt most people have solved over 120 medium / hards...

[@AdityaKumar-wq3nb]

@@GregHogg i just saying ratio of questions i solved 100easy 186 medium and 31 hard i am also trying to increase my hard questions

[@AdityaKumar-wq3nb]

@@GregHogg just saying because we did almost same number of quetions in start i did many easy questions just to increse the question now dont like my approch

[@iseeflowers]

How often do you repeat or revisit the problems?

[@despair268]

''Don't be afraid of looking up the solution'', yep, definitely was my biggest problem, even now I still view it as admitting defeat instead of just realizing you've wasted longer than efficient on a single problem. Do make sure to absolutely go in depth if you do look up the solution, to at least get something out of it.

[@Raider-os8kt]

Yes learn from it watchs polution even if you solve it for better TC and optimization learn the tricks and remember one thing not every problem is made to be solved

[@eoghainlebioda1396]

All great advice, but subscribing is probably the best advice for someone like me. It's really helpful having someone break down the problems in a short form sort of way to keep my brain in the 'problem-solving' mode :D

[@GregHogg]

Super glad the channel has been helpful!

[@laughingvampire7555]

a lot of the solutions are known algorithms that were discovered on research so the best way to learn is to use those algorithms and play with them change the constraints, conditions etc. Do further research on the specific topic and research context of that algorithm. also, get a book on algorithms, they ask specific algorithms because we are supposed to have studied them at college, I did in the early 2000s so I have forgotten about them and I’m rediscovering them

[@thefafala]

The knuth ftw

[@metatrader189]

Truee, also draw everything before u code

[@user-ff7hq8el6m]

I almost forgot to comment but your content is awesome, I recently got a new job that had an algorithm phase and watching your content help me to refresh them and also find new algorithms to practice.🎉❤

[@GregHogg]

Oh that's amazing, thank you so much and good for you!!

[@SamuRai-de1dm]

u saved me for one of my majors, love the content brother.

[@GregHogg]

Haha really glad to hear it! :)

[@rabiddoughnuts]

I always do my best, and then look up how to improve it, and try to apply what I learn on later questions and keep pushing it

[@Aashishbedi0]

You are amazing. Your videos helped me much in my beginning specially that noob vs expert series❤

[@GregHogg]

Thank you so much, really glad they've been helpful!!

[@hani5919]

That’s a much needed advice ever❤, boosts my consistency I watch this whenever I’m exhausted 🎉🎉, thanks greg❤ as I always said you’re a genius 😊

[@GregHogg]

Hahaha really glad to hear it 😊

[@pranavpranjal2717]

I have solved 296 and would suggest the same. Consistency is very important.

[@nnofficial2414]

Yes 🙌 Please don’t feel guilty about looking at the solution.

[@servantofthelord8147]

Number 5 was the most helpful

[@progressiveaccount3270]

I use Paint, brother. There is an another tip that works for me: If the solution is in the standart library, use it! There are always tricky moments in the question desctiptions or solutions, that u can ignore or miss, so for the first, I literally SOLVE the question, and THEN try to do it WITHOUT standart library functions to be sure, that I really got it. For example: Search Insert Position and single number. - They are solved in a single line of code using STD functions, so firstly I do it. Then I write solution by myself. It makes you good in STD knowledge and you can consentrate on really important parts of a question.

[@draksify]

Thanks for number 3😊

[@GregHogg]

No worries!

[@supremoluminary]

Repeat the same question you’ve already done in a different language - even better!

[@arsheyajain7055]

Very helpful 😊

[@ahmadashbat]

Latterly you are telling me what I need to hear 😂❤

[@P.Shivakrishna]

I loved step 5

[@PavankumarPattar-bs5lv]

I've crossed you, solved 304 problems

[@gabrielbarrantes6946]

Real life work: first thing to do is checking is there is a library/package that already does it.

[@zorakbane]

Use the hints before looking up solution, but I think those might only be in the 150 interview questions

[@TheOmegaAlfa]

Imagine the surgeons in training group and their trainer goes “don’t dare to lookup the solution!”. WTF with the stigma? 😂

[@GregHogg]

Lmao great analogy

[@vaibhavsharma2060]

Umm suggest me how much time on avg i should give to a problem before watching the solution

[@abdulrehmanfayyaz142]

Hey do you know JS or TS.. If yes please make these leetcode shorts in TS.

[@nammi895]

Those are rookie number in this racket You need to solve atleast 500

[@GregHogg]

Uhm says who lol

[@nammi895]

@@GregHogg says someone who was leetcoding for 4 yrs & got into FAANG 2 yrs ago 😂 Now 300+ is not enough, competition has increased a lot

[@GregHogg]

@@nammi895 Because you work at FAANG you can adamantly state you need over 500? I know lots of others that would disagree. Also the number of questions doesn't really mean anything

[@x86-64]
