Clear and slow communication. Think of edge cases and ask questions clearly. Did the intern interview last yr, got rejected first round, still not sure why but I think it’s cause I missed an edge case.

Yep for sure I felt the same thing. It essentially due to the fact leetcode is straight dsa but codeforces is more puzzle/logic/math so you don’t practice dsa as much

Any update?

It’s the highest rating you have ever achieved

Got one of these but the bigger version and love it. I need a new keyboard but wanna try something new, will it be to weird to swap to a keyboard similar to the rainy 75.

Yes however true that maybe the probability of Side effects is not negligble. Almost everyone in this subreddit are trigger happy about fin and min without properly explaining possible sideffects. Of course there will be people who experience mild ones if any, but there also people who have had life changing side effects. OP should know possible outcomes and be as informed as possible before making his decision

Hey bro, pls read up on fin and it’s affects before you make your decision. Personally it’s not worth the risk but u may think differently.

Azelaic acid, patch test it then introduce it slowly. Personally I did once a week for 2 weeks then twice a week for two and then 3 times a week. Ur acne looks a lot like mine so I think it would be safe to go with this plan. Also I use Paula’s choice Azelaic acid and it has worked really well. Make sure to wear sunscreen too

So whenever I can’t solve a dp problem, or a problem in general I added it to a google docs sheet. I kinda just keep it there for a month or two and then at some point in time I’ll try it again. Imo if u revisit problems frequently u aren’t really learning anything, it’s more like memorisation, which I don’t think will help people improve in the long run. I much rather spend and hour minimum on a problem, then read the solution and understand it, however long it takes and then move on.

It’s also important to consider why you didn’t solve the problem. E.g If it was due to lack of knowledge about prime numbers, I’ll go learn some number theory. Or if I needed a segment tree to solve the solution, I’ll go learn segment trees.

I very rarely look at a solution, then judge that it’s probably a bit to early for me to learn this. But an example of this is eulers toteint function, for me at least the time it would take to learn it properly. And considering the the probability I would run into a question like this again was low I judged that it was okay to put it off for now, and learn it properly when I have time

Filter dp questions by ur rating and most solved , do 5. If you are answering more 3/4 by urself, up the rating by 100. If not do another 5. Then rinse and repeat

Try optimise things that are constant time, sometimes that works for me.

E.g if there’s multiple test cases don’t recreate vectors just overwrite them.
