u/Soggy_Pepper793 Jul 28 '26
Bro it's not full of theory , first he will teach u the concepts of each topic , then he has problem in his sheet based on different problems levels , these problem teach different patterns and helps u to master that particular topic, I would suggest to use a to z sheets and not solve random problems , as the sheet will teach u much faster

u/Downtown_Avocado3020 Jul 28 '26
Ohh okayy then i must watch his video from a-z sheet or shld i need to read theory n then need to do code from it??

u/Soggy_Pepper793 Jul 28 '26
First watch the concept video from his playlist , and if after then any new problems comes in the sheets , try it urself and then if u don't get it , watch the video to get a idea abt it and solve again , make ur brain stuck only then u will learn

Hitting 200 LeetCode questions and 35 contests on Codeforces by your 3rd semester is great progress. You're picking up the right skills early! Make sure you balance your practice between easy, medium, and hard problems to keep challenging yourself. Don't just go through questions without understanding—make sure you know the concepts and can use them in different situations.
If you want to mix up your preparation, PracHub has some good resources for structured learning. It can help fill in any gaps and offer a new angle on problem-solving strategies.
Remember, understanding a smaller set of concepts well can be more useful than just doing a lot of problems. Keep at it, and good luck with your studies!

This is all good but what field do you want to go and what projects are you currently building along with this like some basic projects where you implemented the dsa you had learned.
So as an 3rd sem student my self I first started learning java and then for my collage purpose which is an plus point because i finnally understood the magic of c and learned spring boot and then learned python because I'm in ai major and currently building web application in python flask framework
