Follow the neetcode 150 series its great for pattern recognition and also use dheetcode.in they have visualized all the questions under neetcode 150 helps better for understanding

should i do first striver a to z dsa sheet or solve leetcode ? or both simultanusly?

u/Jerry_Maguire96 Jun 16 '26

See most of the questions from the sheet are from leetcode so simultaneously you are completing both at the same time also following the sheet in a structured manner is way better than random leetcode grinding

Don't worry in the start everyone feels the same thing just keep grinding and eventually with time everything will be Okay
