Thanks for the video! I was doing this problem the other day and couldn't solve it. As I was stuck trying to solve it and even when I was reading the solution I felt like I was wasting time that could be spent on solving other questions which could yield more results

Great video! Sometimes medium problems can also have the optimal solution which are very difficult to understand for example the manacher's algorithm for the problem of finding longest palindromic string And I don't think they expect you to come up with it in a 45-min interview, so its better to also know sub-optimal approaches that are more intuitive, in this case dp

I really appreciate your content. I'm applying your advices on my Leetcode journey. I have this question about Explore part of Leetcode. What topics do you think a beginner like me should follow?
@topsweАй бұрын
@@ghun131I should make a video on that! Ignore the system design, ML and Sql stuff. Tries, bit manipulation, dynamic programming are more advanced, but still important. I’d focus on the easier ones first like arrays, strings, hashing, queues and stacks, then trees, graphs, heaps, etc. glad you enjoy the channel!

I tried to do the median of two sorted arrays in leetcode when i just joined leetcode. I used python inbuilt functions to solve it but then i realized it was a hard problem without inbuilt functions. I don't know why leetcode accepted my solution with python inbuilt functions.
@topsweАй бұрын
Leetcode can’t tell what functions you use, it’s just evaluates if the test cases pass. Which inbuilt functions can solve this?

@@harshdiwan9283 as a beginner, if you have no ideas, and you just don’t know the tricks or the techniques, whether you try to solve the problem in 5 minutes or 1 hour it’s not going to make any difference. It’s like solving a heap problem without knowing what a heap is.
