The 1 Secret LeetCode Trick

[@philosolog]

"Memorizing is cheap, true understanding is forever." Amazingly said

[@topswe]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad that resonated with you ❤️

[@rickdutta3935]

Can I use a Hashmap for memorization? Cause it takes O(1) time🌚

[@dylan.8801]

Except you forget understanding you don’t use it frequently

[@atharva1509]

Bro is literally waiting for leetcode 2😢

[@ozgurdenizcelik]

thank you for advice you saved me from 1000 problems.

[@adityam1875]

That was a wake up call for me as a beginner…a big thanks ❤️

[@mohit6215]

Want more videos from you sir❤❤

[@topswe]

Thanks for the support! I’ll try :)

[@shreyashdhasade9717]

We'll surely try this sir.... Thanks for your valuable help

[@topswe]

Glad this was helpful!

[@31gautamkalamkar82]

Bro needs leetcode 2.0 😂. Anyways, you gave really great and helpful advice for leetcode beginners like me! Thank you!

[@ShubhamSharma-zq2xn]

Your achievement is just crazy man. I will love to see a whole dedicated video of how you achieved this. What steps you took at what moments. What encouraged you the most. How you came into this.

[@nekoill]

Absolutely amazing video that should be shown in schools tbh

[@abhaygarg6509]

the facts that shared you in the video is reality thanks for sharing

[@jong.4864]

Congratulations! Looking forward to your future videos

[@SJ-yf9xy]

I'm able to get an avg solution for almost every single problem. I understand the approach for every problem and I can easily visualize it, Whether it's hard or easy, but I really have issues to code them down. ☠️

[@anshdholakia714]

I feel like I am very slow in terms of thinking out a solution and coding it up. Yes, I know people need to think out before they write their code but it just feels like I spend too much time than is needed. I think since I got layed off one of the factors was also because I was too slow to code up projects (not explicitly stated but I think that is one of the causes) Do you think these things are correlated?

[@husler7424]

I have the same issue 😢

[@nark4837]

How much do you recommend looking at a solution if you can't solve it versus coming back to the problem a few days later, and looking at solutions after the fact?

[@girdhar3224]

At first it seemed like just another video but Bro started cooking from 1:15 Much respect to u💙❤️

[@wocao1239]

Good stuff. Did you ever stop practicing to go learn theory on e.g. combinatorials as you said, or did you just hammer solutions until you had the concepts down intuitively?

[@topswe]

I only learned the bare minimum to solve problems. Just solve problems, and if you don’t know the theory, learn it. Now you can solve all the problems involving that topic. (Ie. stars and bars) No point in over studying topics that will never come up if you’re focussed on improving at leetcode only.

[@sirojiddinSoftwareEngineer]

Thank you for your advice

[@ShubhamSharma-zq2xn]

Literally in 4 years of B tech started with Leetcode again and again and again. But Failed every single time. So, first now I am only working on basics. That's all acc. to me the stronger you are at basics the better you are at problem solving. If you don't even know what a tree is a what a graph is then how you'll solve questions on it

[@MKV4683]

Hi...please i kindly request if you could make or resource sheet for different patterns used to solve problems

[@topswe]

thanks for the feedback. on my substack i have an article for binary search pattern!

[@pokeindia5361]

​@@topswehow can we access it??

[@mycklandmatthew6973]

Actually useful

[@CSwithSolve]

Any guide on getting better at Weekly contests.

[@takeuchi5760]

Get better at leetcode. The rest is just time bound practice.

[@topswe]

great advice!

[@topswe]

do as many virtuals as you can! the time pressure is unique, and practice the most recent contests. use python :)

[@YA-jq7sg]

Where do you work sir, you are truly inspiriing

[@AmitSingh-je8bu]

What type of questions you ask yourself while solving and understanding the problem?

[@topswe]

Similar problems. What approaches will work efficiently. Explore various approaches and discuss why they work or don’t work.

[@Usseeer_kaizen]

Thanks dude

[@TheBotMir]

Thank you good sir

[@pallabkayal1391]

You have talked about some math concepts and such, so then for devs that are not from math background , just learnt from online bootcamps. How much of math or what math topics need to learnt then ? Everyone tend to think that all devs from math background but that's not, so can you speak on this. The difficulties, and correct approach for non-math background devs to dsa

[@picklenickil]

While you dont use jack ... In IRL I work for vector similarly engine for US government tacter company. Just learn basic DSA.. move on with life..make projects..

[@breakoutgaffe4027]

7th in the world damn 🔥

[@bent8793]

For a second there I thought I was gonna get trolled and that the “secret” was the solutions tab where you can easily copy/paste the answer 😂

[@theultimatecoder3433]

💀😭

[@Cornellie]

I stopped leetcode because it is indeed difficult I have this moral principle too about true understanding vs memorization, I don't even understand Big O notation like O(nlogn) lmao, I think im gonna read that grokking's algorithm book.

[@alpotato6531]

How much time do you spend on Leetcode? Is it clear to you that the time could have been better spent? I assume you think about this sometimes. Like let’s say in the time you solved the last 1000 problems, you instead built a significant software project, or made progress towards learning a whole other skillset eg data science or cooking

[@badrinarayanakancharla363]

Rank 7 - thala for a reason 😂

[@yt-sh]

be curious **fully** understand 100 problems than copy and paste 1000 problems

[@ninjaasmoke]

Who are those 6 madmen above this lad?

[@yomanthunder]

3252 is insane 😅

[@shubhambhatt2704]

Bro eats leetcode questions in breakfast

[@soniadevi8432]

Great work! It must have taken a lot of practice. I wanna ask you how many hours did you practice one daily basis and which resources did u use/refer. Where and how did u learn DSA from? Can u pls make one video on this (in case u have already made a video please provide a link in the comments.) ? And thank you so much for your guidance and advice.

[@RFsalman]

do (some) people actually just copy paste leetcode solutions ?

[@chizuru1999]

I have not solved more than 10 leetcode questions but I can come up with my solutions in real world applications.

[@rubyciide5542]

You actually need good memory to really understand what the fuck is going on. Just like llms

[@gauravbanerjee2898]

Thanks a lot for the advise

[@topswe]

glad it was helpful!

[@krsameer1]

Which company do you work at?

[@interstellar1873]

When the course coming out bro?

[@abhiwastaken]

Yeah, I'll happily take it

[@topswe]

thanks for the feedback, what are your thoughts on pricing/format?

[@topswe]

thanks for the feedback, what are your thoughts on pricing/format?

[@interstellar1873]

@@topswe saw your substack post about presale but couldn’t find any links or mention of it about there. Regarding the the format and pricing(my 2c): Format: could be mixture of videos(covering concepts and patterns) coupled with article style content like grokking. Pricing: it’s your call being the service provider and educator. But looking at the other leading market players like Neetcode, Algoexpert(not much popular now), Design gurus etc. it can be a monthly subscription model or one off payment for lifetime membership for early users of annual subscriptions. Study the market a bit and focus on providing quality educational content, you can easily take over this market segment. Love your vids, appreciate the work. Good luck brother 🚀

MySQL 281 problems solved ☠️

[@topswe]

haha yeah I completed them all :) was pretty fun ngl

[@nwic]

Is leet code useful for real projects? Or only to get a job?

[@prakashpratapsingh7323]

Can you please upload hackerrank's contests questions like project euler I think it will be good for your channel too

[@Rafik.Swim.R]

Be honest with ur self? Seriously!!

[@Falconbhai999]

ok then , i must start to cook my brain to leetcode now , will take that title of 1%.
