Learning Map

  1. Level 1: Basics of Programming and Simple Data Structure
    1. Refresh basic programming concepts (variables, loops, conditionals).
    2. Learn the Python programming language (if not already familiar).
    3. Understand the structure of LeetCode problems (input, output, constraints).
    4. Practice solving easy problems that involve arrays and strings.
    5. Develop a strategy for reading and understanding problem statements.
  2. Introduction to Simple Data Structures
    1. Study fundamental data structures: arrays, stacks, and queues.
    2. Learn how to implement these data structures in code.
    3. Solve easy problems related to these data structures to reinforce your understanding.
    4. Gain familiarity with data structure-specific operations (e.g., push, pop, enqueue, dequeue).
  3. Exploring Linked Lists and Slightly Harder Problems
    1. Introduce linked lists and their basic operations (insertion, deletion).
    2. Practice solving easy and some medium-level problems involving linked lists.
    3. Understand the concept of pointer manipulation in linked lists.
    4. Explore recursion as a problem-solving technique for linked list problems.
    5. Develop strategies for tackling problems that involve more complex data structures.
  4. Search Algorithms and Problem-Solving Techniques
    1. Dive into searching algorithms like linear search and binary search.
    2. Master the concepts of searching and practice applying them to problems.
    3. Learn problem-solving techniques such as brute force, greedy algorithms, and dynamic programming.
    4. Solve problems that require a combination of data structures and algorithms.
    5. Continuously improve your problem-solving skills by analyzing different approaches and optimizing your solutions.
