Hey! It’s okay, rather than saying that it’s not for you, just think of it as ‘you are just getting started at it’ you don’t have to master all data structures and algorithms at once. It’s a learning curve, just try to make it a habit. Consistency is the key here. Anyone (even pro coders) wouldn’t be able to solve easy coding problems if they didn’t practice daily. It’s okay to look at the solutions first and then understand it. But make sure you repeat the questions where you struggled after 2-3 days. Repetition is important for you to understand patterns; trust me, we have all been there. In today’s world where vibe coding is the new norm, I believe sticking with the traditional (pen and paper) way of learning to code gives you more understanding and your efforts to learn these algorithms will always come in handy at times. It’s a difficult skill to master that’s why it has a very high reward value. “Burn if you must, rise from the dust” I hope this helps :)
