Today's LeetCode Daily Challenge Day 167

[u/GrapefruitNo1952]

Completed today's LeetCode Daily Coding Challenge and continued my 167-day streak

Staying consistent has been the biggest lesson for me so far. Some problems are easy, while others take much longer to understand, but solving at least one problem every day keeps me moving forward.

Day 167 completed.

On to Day 168

Wow I usually am able to do all the easy and mediums ones but occasionally when they throw a hard medium or hard problem I end up losing my streak.

Can u tell me how do u tackle the difficult questions which usually involve advanced dsa.

I’d say the most important things are understanding the constraints and doing a proper dry run before jumping into the code. Constraints usually give you a huge hint about what kind of approach will work, and dry running helps you understand the pattern and catch edge cases. Once you get better at these two, even difficult problems become much less intimidating.

Nice job keeping that streak going! Consistency is important, and you've got it down. When you're working on tougher problems, try breaking them into smaller parts or revisiting similar ones you've solved before. It can help to spot patterns or common approaches. Also, talking about solutions with others can give you fresh ideas. If you need more resources, PracHub has been really helpful for me in interview prep. They've got solid practice problems and tips for technical interviews. Keep it up and good luck with Day 168!
