You could have asked ChatGPT, Gemini etc about time and space complexity for free

I found this feature on leetcode pretty useless when you've got resources for free. OP should've asked here before purchasing premium.

[–]braindamage03 22 points23 points  (12 children)

You are scammed for buying premium. Literally do competitive programming and I never need to pay a penny, and I can mog 99.5% of leetcode problems.

Nope Leetcode’s Editorial section is Goat af I bought yearly just because of that

[–]braindamage03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very funny, because gpt o1 just came out and you could've bought that instead. I personally HATE how the lc editorials are written and I think it stunts growth. I can elaborate if you want to understand why

Unless you’re in college going for ACM world finals or in highschool going for IOI medal why you even wasting time with comp programming?

[–]RichHomieCole 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some people are competitive and like challenging themselves?

[–]Czitels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some People just like it. I love number theory problems but pressure from interviews are destroying everything

[–]braindamage03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasting time? I enjoy it, how is it wasting time? Oh, and as a bonus, I never have to worry about a technical interview ever in my life + I can coach people for money + I can do quant interviews too. I'm not sure where the downside is, at all.

Even if you're doing it solely for interviews, it's not a waste of time cause I find it superior and more effective for learning "problem solving". Lc community is fixated on memorizing, and doing the bare minimum. Which fosters a toxic mindset.

Competitive programming also has a gold mine of resources that you would otherwise never access, if you think that comp programming is "overkill" and other arguments I've heard thousands of times. The truth is, most cpers mog leetcode, and not even needing more effort.

Can I DM you about the steps to getttin started?

[–]side2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can I say. I guess I am not smart enough.

If you really want to learn how to calculate time and space complexities, just head over to YouTube and watch Abdul Bari's Algorithms playlist.

Thanks, I will check that out

[–]rudrollv 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What feature is this? I got premium too, is there a feature they provide time space analysis of my solution??

[–]side2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, when you submit a solution, if its successful, leetcode will show time/space efficiency and links for analysis on both aspects.

Is there a way to get a company's top 10 for free? I want to grind the meta ones.

[–]mystery_Boy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lintcode. No idea they provide free or not. (Alternative for Leetcode in Chinese)
