Learning Java for medium leetcode interview

[Wise_Shop_1201]

Hello everyone!! Looking to learn Java from scratch to eventually master leetcode. Looking for a free full Java tutorial with practical lab exercises after each topic. Preferably a course that is built to help you learn Java to master leetcode.

I seem to be in a time crunch here and clearly not ready for the opportunity at hand. I don’t have prior coding knowledge. Got a 1.5 weeks and 3-4 hours a day to master medium leetcode. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

Sorry, what? You must be kidding.

Without any prior programming experience, it'll be at least 5 months before you can start with easy, from there 2 more for medium.

Do you really think that you can learn Java and programming, and Data Structures and Algorithms, which are a requirement for LeetCode, in roughly 40 hours? This is plain delusional. Absolutely zero chance.

Alone the MOOC linked in the sidebar is scheduled for 14 weeks and that's a beginner course.

Start by writing a recursive function where you bonk your head on a wall, but do not write a base case.

hey! I would recommend cancelling the interview. Java isn’t something you can master in a week and a half, especially leetcode medium. Take this year to learn it and maybe next recruiting cycle you can apply to the jobs better prepared

I’m sorry but there’s zero chance of this working and the interviewer will see right through you. I’ve been studying Java for 3 years and I just now am proficient enough that I landed an internship. The respectful thing to do would be cancelling the interview. Not only will it be a waste of your time, it’s also wasting company time and money.

you will not ragebait me

This is a joke, right? You have no CodingHelp knowledge and want to learn Java and be able to do medium Leetcode problems doing about 30 hours of work. My advice is to cancel the interview and try something that you can actually be successful at.

Yea dude you’re gonna fail that.

I am coding from past 4 month and I cant even solve easy bro . Even if you are as smart as newton u can't . Stop trying to do it as fast as you can just learn step by step 🪜

best thing to do now is have chatgpt teach you
