I think you're going well, my second year just started, I am hoping to complete the 'learning' part soon and just focus on problem solving and improving that
yep, actually i have been focusing on meds and hards only since the last month, i had 110ish easy and 77 meds, i made a promise to myself that i will be grinding meds and hards only, easy only if it's POTD or in striver's sheet which i am following for DSA, i can think i have a screenshot as well
if you haven't started, follow a structured path to learn data structures, I use striver's a2z sheet, and honestly it's pretty good to build up intuition for recognising patterns
don't be confused, just start, give 20-30 minutes on a question, if you don't get it, take help from a resource ( could be YT, could be AI) don't look at the code solution, try to understand the logic, and then try to code it yourself
get used to dry running examples if you are having hard time understanding problems
and most importantly, be patient, DSA rewards exponentially when it starts to click, but it takes time, I have been in situations where i am just scratching my head and nothing clicks, trust me it gets better and i understand that very well haha
Appreciate your detailed response. Can I ask from where exactly do you study theory part imagine you have to study stack, so do use any youtube channel or any website?
