This is the first guy who's actually genuine.
haha thanks! in what ways? how long have you been leetcoding?
I just started python, is there leetcode for python beginners, like i did the cs50 python course i need guide @@topswe
@@topswe You own 3 badges that means you are not running behind badges and all fame..
Being honest with yourself about your skills can get you so far
Do not lie to yourself and fake understanding is the most honest advice ever!
I suffered a lot by not being honest with myself, used to just copy solutions missing out on the thrill of actually solving the problem by understanding it. Tip #2 is the most important one.
It's all about learning from your past mistakes and repeat them again.
The most important thing is never copy code! You must write the code yourself before test and submitting. If you get stuck, just try to break the problem down into small chunks and look for hints on smaller chunks. Never look for hints for the entire problem!
What if u just started doing DSA and you're not being able to solve even a single problem? Like even after thinking a lot u can't find the optimal solution. Should u look at the solution or move on to the next problem. How long should u wait before looking at the solution.
@@manan-543if you just started dsa you can look at the solutions for understanding eventually you would be able to solve on your own and then you can try and give time to each problem individually
@@manan-543Just try to find a solution,whether optimal or not in 20 minutes.If you are not able to think something in 20 min,chances are you will not gonna find a solution. After 20 minutes,see some solutions or yt videos about that question and then try to implement it by yourself.
BGM had me , fukashigi no carte , nice choice !! ❤️❤️
Thanks for the kind words!
Must as well solve the leftover 24 easy questions.
Solved all problems now :)
Bro you are great.
thanks for the kind words! really means a lot :)
that Bunny girl senpai Ed though
haha yeah its a nice lofi sound track :) how long have you been leetcoding for?
@@topswe started on 20th march 2023, onto 200 questions RN
Me listening to Bunny girl instead of leetocde
Thanks a lot. Looking at solutions i felt is a bad thing to do. And I was frustrated after not getting the required solution. This short appeared then. Since its not a bad thing, I will look, understand and try to implement the concept or method in future also.❤
Reached 1000 problems recently!
hey ive a question that how much do i need to know before starting on leetcode
all you need to know is I'm your daddy@@lightyagami2906
@@lightyagami2906 programming language
@@lightyagami2906 Just the basics you will learn advanced stuff in no time just by brute force, thats how it worked for me lol
@@lightyagami2906 I recommend starting with basic linear DS first like array and linkedlist & then solving questions , then learning more and solving more questions and so on and so forth .
Really honest advice🎉
Glad you think so! appreciate the message. how long have you been leetcoding?
Genuinely great advice
really appreciate the kind words!
When I look at the easy ones and still don’t know what the hell to do 😮
Spend some more time then
I was like that at first too. There is a steep initial learning curve, but after a while you start making connections between problems
Excelent advice bud.
thank you, glad it helped! how long have you been leetcoding for?
@@topswei have been doing leetcode from last 1 year 475 questions
This was what I needed, made my day man😢❤
Really appreciate the kind words! Made my day :)
Great example made by you
Could you share your tips and suggestions to reach goal like you
The most genuine guy i have seen on youtube, thanks for the tips❤❤❤
really appreciate the kind words! :)
Thanks you so much for kind info.. ❤
My pleasure 😊
Tip #1 is not applicable for Indians. The first round itself contains LC Hards. It's an online round, so no hints.
Elimination of competition.
It's for beginners.
And at the EOD,you have to practice all type of questions including hard and mediums.
Chatgpt is the answer
@@TheEsotericProgrammer I wish, but not really.
@@psibarpsibro do all types with proper understanding.
Follow QPCD ...
End
Yes it hurts but even easy level finds complicated sometimes
yes, I felt that at the beginning too. i couldn't even solve two-sum, but after years of effort they become trivial!
1700, kill me 😂
haha now I'm at 2222 :), how long have you been leetcoding?
@@topswe woah. On and off for about 1 year but I'm still at about 579
Nice 👍🏻 short broski
thank you, glad it helped! how long have you been leetcoding for?
They still got that quality though. Their products never feel cheap, even though it is not super expensive like some others, i've some at my home, an old headphone(which still is pretty good despite being over a decade old) and i have their speakers at home as well and especially, i love their pens too(which isn't something to brag about).
The most underrated fact : Never lie to yourself about understanding it'll cost u in future.
Yes! It’s a difficult skill to train, but absolutely essential
Just aweeeeeesome 💯💯💯
Thanks for the kind words!
The most important thing: Consistency
Definitely!
1700 questions sheesh
What's your advice for someone who is able to solve 2/4 (almost everytime) and 3/4(sometimes) on leetcode contests? (I am that someone lol).
I do upsolve too the remaining questions (3/4) rn my ratings are 1600+
IS that something good or not
@@user-js8nc8dv8bcan u suggest how to improve in leetcode and I am not improving
Is the final tip the best 100 easy LC questions to get started in SWE?
One more thing there is that notes section pls use that to write about that approach
thanks man
Great content
Thanks for the kind words!
After doing 50+ hard LC problem i find a pattern in the hard ones is that one type of hard is that they require deep knowledge of their topics, and if you have the deep knowledge of that topic the question is cakewalk, like most of the rolling hash problems, although there are some exceptions. the other type of LC hards are they require experience they literally judge the implementation ability for ex. Text justification it does not need any advanced string algos but it only requires the implementing ability,
although if you're doing it with python some of them are not that hard to implement but if you're doing c++ like me they sometimes take 2 hrs+ to solve.
what patterns should i learn to solve string parsing problems like the valid parentheses or parsing math expressions and such.
@@samuraijosh1595 stack dude, the question itself is screaming to use stack and you're not even listening.
@@muditkhanna8164 no I know that much. But that's not enough of a hint for solving hard parsing questions where there's also dynamic programming involved.
@@samuraijosh1595 if there's dynamic programming involved, they are probably asking for max /min result after parsing.Well these kind of questions are either of MCM variant, or they are monotonic stack variant. but if you have found out they are of normal dp variant you might have done the recursion part. so there's that. you are almost done dude!
Hey can you please recommend any DSA course to solve these leetcode problems ?
One more thing my friends say it is good to solve questions in c++ but i only know python should i learn c++ them start solving or i should start solving problems using python?
Genuine words🎉
Glad it was helpful!
thank bro, you best
thank you, glad it helped! how long have you been leetcoding for?
@@topswe Before that, I had enough for a week or two. but now I have taken it seriously and have been solving it every day since July. Thank you for your site and your advice!
Implementate yourself!
IDK why most OA I got are hard level questions, there are a few medium level questions but easy level questions almost never appear. When an easy level questions appeared it usually come together with medium & hard questions with some multiple choice
Bro, in India, all the interview questions will be hard.
Haha I guess it does depend on the country, good point.
Can you please give us patterns that need to prepared with some sample questions.
its all on the leetcode 75 list! i also have the topswe100 list on my website for questions
I’m current market , lc hard is common as there is huge competition.
Yes I keep hearing ppl saying this
Is that based on your experience?
Interesting, I may need to update this video then :)

Thanks for the support! :)
Really like the bgm ❤
Thanks for the feedback!

Bro can u tell me how much important leetcode contest because most of the I barely able solve the questions and gets demotivated
Not the BGS music 😢
BG Music : Fukashigi no Carte
yep! lofi version, thanks
I recognize the song! Man, brings back memories
Haha thanks!
@@topsweit's a good show! Apparently two movies came out this year that I haven't seen but much respect 👍
And then keep in mind that when you get your job, its actually nothing like leetcode
Thanks bro
Glad it was helpful!
Whats the name of background music, please tell me??🙏🙏
Bunny girl senpai lofi
What are pattern questions ❓
I am so dumb I can't even solve the easy problems.
Its ok dsa is only for interviews, literally never used a leetcode algorithm for full stack web/game dev
@@WoWUndadhow to learn backend development i am not liking this 😢 but I am very intelligent student in my whole academics
Bro same situation@@abc-ym4zs
I was in the situation last month but then i could solve 100 questions just by not giving up
@@monukeys1105 I'm still learning and I still cant solve an easy problem
Should i go for hard problems in blind75
What are those 20 patterns?
Holy shit bro 1700?!! Why no contests tho??
I think you would easily get guardian
i've been doing contests lately! currently a knight, on the way to guardian soon! what rating are you?
@@topswe 1600 🥲
Lol I again saw this video randomly on my feed. I think it will cross 1900 after yesterday's contest 😂 @@topswe
@@zanies6288 haha congrats! I’m now a guardian :)
Congrats bro! I think, I saw you once on the leaderboard. Imo it's time for you switch to cf. 😜@@topswe
Bro is the interviewer
Haha 😂😂
how to not forget things?
Now even data scientist need practice leetcode as well 😢
Haha yes, leetcode is very important across many roles.
The thing is now a days competition is v high now people need to be competitive programer for faang
Also want to ask how much time should I ideally spend to think of solution and then see solution
yes for sure, that's why more practice is important! i would say if you have no ideas, just look at the solutions. If you have an idea then pursue it!
But what about oa ???. Interview is still after oa 😢
I just visited his leet code profile. he solved all easy leet code problems. bruh :(
I’ve solved all problems now! :)
Whether all these questions are related to python?
Yeah you can solve all problems in python!
Bro I have friend who solve 1600+ qaustion in codeforce.he just plan Google intern and in 7months.he promoted to SDE2😢😢.I am stuck in development
That’s very impressive. It’s a long journey! But it’s worth it, keep it up :)
The guy said nothing but solve from NeetCode instead
bro i am having 2.6 years of experience in golang developer i am not having confident ..? I couldn't able to develop build code but when i look other solutions i can understand in my daily tasks i will just copy paste program . Does developer fit for me ..?
2.6 years of experience is great! I would focus on improving at Leetcode, I’m sure you can do it!
How can you access the solutions by the way? Sometimes I got stuck for two hours for a hard question which is such a waste of time.
I would just use the free discussions forums. They are really high quality, just sort by most upvoted.
Yep exactly, I have some new videos on this. Basically ensuring you maximize your time by improving learning rate, minimizing the time you waste.
i got all hard questions.
it can happen!
Interview has leveled up due to low demand high supply . LC Medium Hard LC Hard and LC Hard hard is common in 2024
Is this from your experience?
@@topswe True man. Im not talking about FAANG or top tech like salesforce,microsoft,etc.
I interviewed at companies like bitgo,okta,docusign. they ask such hard questions for 5+ easily. LC medium /LC medium hard is asked for 2-5 yrs.
i thought hard is also needed recently
Really depends on the company, but generally medium is enough
bruh 1700 questions 💀
haha yeah now I'm at over 2200 :) Time flies! how long have you been leetcoding for?
@@topsweyour almost finished xD what do you think abt codewars
@@topswe my god 6 months since the video and another 500 problems? 2-3 problems a day. very consistent..
Bro ı have been learning cording roughly a month now and algorithms and data structures f** my brain up . Know dynamic programming. I think ı am gonna die just understanding. I get back to the same topics like 10 times each and feeling dumb that ı do not understand
First, recognize that leetcode is difficult. I felt the exact same way when I first started. It’s really non intuitive at first, and I quit. However now, I can say that once you get used to the ideas it makes a lot of sense. Try to zoom out, I have some new videos on this. Don’t give up, keep your head up!
Why did you spend that much time with LC?
Background music too loud, drowns out your voice
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll lower the volume
Now rank 57🎉🎉🎉
Rank 6 now :)
what is ur contest ranking?
It's average 1/4 garbage who's teaching others without results.
Currently 2200. My true rating is higher
Hi sir I am normal private collage tier 3 type university in india btech students cse and I want to crack off campus citadel internship can you suggest me best book
How much time do you spend on thinking solution for each queston?
i would spend as much time as i have ideas! if no ideas, 5-10 minutes look at the solution
Sir I started leetcoding just a month ago and now I have completed 200 problems any advice for me
Start giving contests, there's no point in blindly solving problems to increase your solve count if you are unable to solve unseen problems in a timed sitting.
great advice! contests are a great way to simulate the interview environment! how long have you been leetcoding?
stay consistent, and try to enjoy the process! You don't realize how much you can improve in just a year :) btw those numbers are really impressive, keep it up!
Now I have solved 670 problems and now I can solve most of the problems by myself or atleast i can figure out some intuition...
Now I have solved around 800 problems ....
U have not participated any contest ??? huh!!!😊
I have now! I’m a guardian :)
"Do not worry about hardship"
"The goal is to improve your skills"
Well sounds like you’re not giving yourself the most optimal route for that aren’t ya?
Haha I see how that can seem contradictory. The point I wanted to make for beginners is to not destroy your confidence. I quit many times because I felt leetcode was too hard at the beginning.
i am trying to crack my first interview how can i start preparing for it ?
Start with neetcode 150 maybe.
Give contests
great advice!
i'd recommend the leetcode 75 list!
what is the bg music called?
It's a lofi remix of Fukashigi no Carte from the Bunny Girl Senpai anime :D
Yep! Thanks
Topswe 100
Yep! :)

@@awesomeguy6427 hey congrats! I'd start asap, there are some pretty easy problems on leetcode for beginners :)
@@awesomeguy6427 id recommend learning python as well :)
Already solved 130 in just a month since I started as a 13 year old. Mostly easy tho
wow thats really impressive! congrats! i wish i started at 13, keep up the consistency!

how much time each question and how many questions per day do you recommend?
i recommend 30 minutes per question! at least 2-3 everyday, weekends try to do 5+!
How long have you been leetcoding?
For me it has been a month and i have solved 30 questions only. When will i reach at your place.😮
Took me over 3 years of practicing everyday! :)
Hards are not rare anymore
Reached 310 Problems, My target is to complete 500 problems.
really impressive work, keep it up! :)
