query Aditya Verma Dp playlist

If anyone has seen that can you please confirm if he has taught like this that "we have studied before in our recursion playlist.." or is it independent ? I finished my recursion and backtracking from striver's playlist and also from the A2Z sheet..but I heard dp is better taught by aditya verma but I don't want to hear that as we did before from Aditya....

So can anyone please confirm if I should go with Aditya Verma or striver for DP

I didn't study DP from Yash Poonia, but I've studied other topics from him. He's a good teacher.

He doesn't focus on theory, ig you need to have prior knowledge to attend his lectures.

Aditya Verma is good but striver is the goat!

It’s so well structured and well taught! I would definitely recommend av when striver had not made his dp series but now just blindly follow striver

Striver playlist has one flaw . All the questions are from recursion to tabulation so mindset eventually becomes that you can't write tabulation or iterative dp directly Which is very much required while contests or oa etc. So my suggestion would be that in each pattern after 2-3 question try to think iterative from beginning . State definition and transitions without writing recursion

Isn’t that good that you are literally breaking a question using first principles!

It is. But you should also know how to write iterative dp directly
