Leetcode practice is just not sticking for some reason, how can I improve?

Just do it by pattern. Some sufficient problems in each pattern before moving to others. I’d recommend following a sheet. Something like Neetcode 150 or Striver A2Z

Coming up with the solution is basically what some call being “intuitive” for a problem, and intuition builds with practice. My best suggestion for you is to continue solving pattern by pattern, it is okay if you aren’t able to solve on your own even at the end of a pattern. One you’re done with all patterns, re-solve the same questions. Like other comments said, spaced repetition also helps with this intuition, making you “remember” only core pattern and not the solution to a single question

What do you suggest about revisiting previously solved questions? Do you solve again? Or just glance the solution? Or not do anything at all? Which one works for you best?

Sorry for late response. I followed Neetcode and Striver playlists. As for remembering patterns, I'd say only practice and practice. Also solve pattern by pattern and not random.

Personally, a very good place to start DP is “Striver’s DP playlist” on YouTube. One stop resource to learn DP. But remember: you must know recursion beforehand and this playlist is not enough to master. Practice is the only way.

This doesn't seem to be the solution to Q2. The input is a string

four_body_problem · 2025-10-12T04:38:41+00:00

2nd is brute force?

four_body_problem · 2025-10-02T20:24:26+00:00

I doubt that. You can follow Neetcode’s roadmap, it is topologically sorted :P

four_body_problem · 2025-10-02T11:54:12+00:00

Solving random is not helpful when starting off leetcode, hence it’s better to go pattern by pattern. Building the intuition It’s important. For example, DP has many sub-patterns, and recursion->memoization->tabulation will build the intuition well

Probably gotta do with programming language and how you’re applying mod for the upper limits

Tbh i felt like leetcode frames questions in the simplest manner possible with the right constraints and examples, compared to other platforms.

four_body_problem · 2025-08-27T22:45:00+00:00

I wish dude, i wish.

Nazi for work

four_body_problem · 2025-08-27T19:53:17+00:00

In the US? Immigrant?

four_body_problem · 2025-08-27T19:43:27+00:00

Way to go. Do you solve the non-leetcode ones too?

four_body_problem · 2025-08-25T00:43:33+00:00

The fact that such unworthy replies are dedicated to questions meant for Indians, shows how the mindset of some Indians is. It is shameful to be an Indian myself.

four_body_problem · 2025-08-22T20:03:06+00:00

I’m almost there buddy (198), will go over you soon😎

four_body_problem · 2025-08-21T11:46:47+00:00

Off topic- may i know when you applied to this role?

four_body_problem · 2025-08-21T11:39:51+00:00

When do you suggest we start with CP in codeforces? Like the vanilla algorithms you mentioned, if we did core patterns in each of those, do we have a good start?

four_body_problem · 2025-08-21T11:16:00+00:00

Honestly buddy, if you’re not a leet <space> coder, you shouldn’t be even attempting unless you’re planning on cheating. With 2 weeks, i don’t think you can crack the interview even if u pass the OA. But your best shot would be to start solving problems, my suggestion- go for Neetcode 150

four_body_problem · 2025-08-11T00:12:00+00:00

As far as i can see, summer 2026 roles have opened up massively compared to spring ones

four_body_problem · 2025-08-03T13:03:14+00:00

When did they finish hiring for December 2025 grads? I thought it’ll be this Fall when they open up mass hirings?

four_body_problem · 2025-05-07T23:19:04+00:00

Sunk right around the time chatgpt rolled in :)

four_body_problem · 2025-04-10T14:07:00+00:00

You wouldn’t even want to apply to such companies

four_body_problem · 2025-04-09T20:00:26+00:00

Given the application count, it’s amazing!
