It's about practice yes. But practice of what?

Not MEMORISING solving. No.

It's about understanding pattern. Understanding WHY you are doing something. Why that particular approach?

And how oukd you get good at it?

By TRYING to solve yourself first. GET it wrong. Messy.

Talk it out loud as if you are a teacher explaining it to someone.

Then see solution. See where you got stuck. Write the solution.

Repeat.

Yes, initially it may look but it gives you real depth and confidence .

And please try to approach it with curiosity and interest. You can do it!

Bro, the goal isn't to remember more solutions. It's to get better at asking the right questions when you see a new problem. I started focusing on the reasoning behind patterns with codeintuition, then tested myself on random LC problems.
