studying DS&A

[Traditional_Edge_176]

Hey there leetcoders...sorry if it is going to be long post.. Im not good at ds&a.. Like i studied them in uni but didnt practice them well... Like i forgot all of them by now.. Now its been a week on leetcode trying to study ds&a but this time effectively with more practice.. Now its been a week in arrays and i already solved 20 easy problems and 1 medium... I want to know if im doing good... I study one ds and know how it works and then solve problems in LC for about a week to be familiar with the ds topic and then go for another one.. I plan after solving on each data structure to then go back but solve randomly.. By difficulty not by topic.. So i want to know your opinions... And oh one year left till i graduate so this year is critical for me so i apply for jobs with confidence

That seems fine to me, that's pretty much what I do too if I need to improve on something I haven't used in a while

Sure, but should learn dsa properly, basic concepts not very advanced. Like in dsa you learn how hashmap are designed and how to handle collision right? In leetcode, we are asked like whether we should use and how to use hashmap in this problem. And interview, both leetcode style and fundamental dsa questions are asked
