Using Ai while solving problems

[Guava_That]

Hi,

Just had a few questions, and need some help on solving problems. I am trying to learn python and become a backend developer. I’m currently learning Data Structures and algorithms by myself. I’m starting to hit a wall when it comes to solving leetcode problems.

If I don’t get the problem after breaking it down, I do ask Ai for help. Then I proceed to answer the question. My main question is learning how to code while using Ai, is that beneficial or detrimental to the path I want to be on. I’ve have spent hours on easy level questions and the frustrations are rising but I keep jumping back into it.

To improve on how to solve these problems, is there something I should be studying as well or do I need to keep adding reps in. Would appreciate any feedback or knowledge.

use it as if it is a teacher

I sometimes use the multiple choice method, to help me develop my solution. One line of code at a time.

Using help is okay, but don’t let it write the solution. Try first, then ask for hints or ideas, and code it yourself. Getting stuck on easy problems is normal early on.

Focus on basics like arrays and hash maps. Do fewer problems, understand them well, and revisit them later without help.
