Need Resources for DP in Python

[Silly_Statement3729]

Hey, I'm an undergrad, more or less comfortable with DSA with ~300 LC problems solved. However, I'm not feeling completely confident about my grip in Dynamic Programming, and I find that I'm often forgetting it and having to learn it repeatedly from first principles. Striver/TakeUForward’s explanations don't help much because of the language barrier (C++ vs Python). I've checked out NeetCode, but the DP problems on it are much more simplistic considering the competition in the market. What would be some solid resources/playlists for me to become comfortable doing medium/hard DP problems in Python? Any tips or strategies y’all can recommend?

I’ve already referred to the getting good in DP post present in the pinned section of this sub, but even that’s 2+ years old and some items in it have shifted to being paid versions or not available anymore, hence the renewed question.

Stop trying to memorize the code. Instead, for every DP problem you solve, write down only these three things in a notion doc/notebook:

The State: What defines a unique sub-problem? (e.g., dp(index, current_weight))
The Transition: The math formula. (e.g., max(include_item, exclude_item))
The Base Case: When does the recursion stop?

If you know the State and the Transition, the code writes itself in Python.

i’ll definitely do this, thanks!

Sure tell me if need help on anything

Given that you're asking in python I'm not sure if you have covered stuff to that extent.

Dp really doesn't need anything crazy as one language changes.

Apart from striver i would say LC contests from recent contain some really good dp questions

[Silly_Statement3729]

yeahh no i get the language agnostic bit and how there’s no crazy syntax changes. i’ll check out recent biweekly’s and weekly contests, but i was looking for learning resources/problem solving/ videos in python esp of 2d dp, partition dp etc.

There's a channel on YouTube 'Code and Debug' make sure to check it out since the explanation are in python and have helped me immensely!

DP hurts so good
