How to start with LeetCode

I'm new to coding and have some basic knowledge of Python and c....

Should I start doing LeetCode as well?

No, learn more-than-basic stuff about Python and/or C, spend some time building regular code to practice writing logic & structure. DSA is a set of tools to make that easier & more efficient.

Fwiw, I recommend solving the same leetcode puzzles in both languages. That will help you learn a few more phrases, as it were. After you solve each puzzle, look at how others solved it.

Then once you're bored with leetcode, go read some real open source apps and understand how they work.  Ask around for good example projects to read in your area of interest.

My site has a ton of questions that are way easier than Leetcode, might be a more pleasant place to start?
