🎉 Finally 1700 LeetCode problems! 💪🔥

It's been an incredible journey that demands immense effort, but the rewards of hard work are truly worth it.

Some may wonder why I chose to tackle such a massive number of problems. The simple answer is that I genuinely enjoy solving LeetCode problems. The satisfaction of unraveling complex algorithms and finding elegant solutions is its own reward.

I'm getting a lot of messages regarding how much time we should spend on a DSA problem.

After practicing for more than 2 years, Here is the best approach to solving a problem.

Here is the strategy:
1) Set a timer - 30-45 minutes
2) Brute to better to optimal
3) After the time is over, here's what I do

Three scenarios could happen:

i) The approach is accepted

I will not start another problem now, I will search for some other approaches or more optimized solutions from the discussion section.

This helps me to learn new approaches and algorithms.

ii) Implementation errors/ Wrong Answers
I will try to give another 20-30 minutes, if after that is also not solved, then I will take a break and come back later.
A break helps me to freshen my mind so that I can think about the problem.

iii) No approach

Try the problem for at least 20-30 minutes
If no solution then look into the topic of the question
If no solution then look for the hints from the hints/solution section.
If no solution go into the discuss/solution section and look for some solution.
Try to solve some similar problems from the similar section now, It will help you to understand the logic of the question better.
Add the problem to-do list so that I can try after 10-15 days again.

Many people are already following this approach, and I can surely say that it will help you to improve your problem-solving skills.
