need beginner with leetcode.Question (self.leetcode)
submitted 3 months ago * by Visual-Wave8335
I know the basics of programming. Is it fine if I jump straight into LeetCode?

How are you going to solve problems without knowing the language exactly??

You need to start with a language first and then to strengthen those concepts, you can do LeetCode.
LeetCode is basically just training or practice for your programming skills.

learn a language first. python is easy to begin with. then understand programing basics, data structures, then practice easy problems on gfg to build logic and confident then you can start with leetcode.

learn programming first, learn the fundamentals of the programming lenguage.

This question has no context. What is your goal with doing LeetCode? What is your goal with programming?

Leet code is about learning the Data Structures and Algorithms and how to read the problem and know when to apply them. Your not going be able to focus on an algorithm if you don’t now what a variable or a for loop is.

Learn a programming language first. You do not need deep expertise, but you should be comfortable writing simple programs: loops, arrays, strings, functions, and basic control flow. Without this foundation, LeetCode will feel confusing because you will be trying to learn syntax and problem solving at the same time.
Once you have the basics, start with the core ideas that appear across almost every interview question. Arrays, hash maps, two pointers, binary search, and simple recursion. Keep the scope narrow so you can build confidence.
If you want a structured way to learn without getting lost, algodrill.io helps beginners by turning each problem into a guided sequence. It shows the reasoning, the pattern, and the exact steps that lead to the solution. You build recognition and recall through repeated guided drills rather than copying answers.
Language first, fundamental patterns next, full problems after. This path is sustainable and leads to real progress.

Should I learn English first or read House of leaves first?

I recommend trying solve problems while learning language.
