Neetcode Roadmap Part 1
In 2024 one of the things that I wanted to improve was my programming logic,
but not only my logic, in fact I wanted to increase my understanding of algorithms,
you know, be one of those person that can understan what big O.
One of the resource that I use for this goal was the roadmap of the youtube channel Neetcode.
In today's post I will share my progress in the roadmap so far. Right now I had completed
64 problems of 150 in the page.
So let's take a look at what I've learn.
Here is the breakdown of the things
- It's hard
- I need to solve more problem to truly said that I dominate that section
- Feels amazing to complete every single challenge.
Let's take a deep look at those points.
It's hard
At the beginning for me, was like "Alright this thing shouldn't be so difficult" and I was totally wrong
of course there is a lot of easy challenges and problems that just with brute force solution you can solve
but here the point (at least for me) It to learn in how to come with the best possible solution, being the
most efficient one. And for second time I wasn't expecting to be this hard. For example some of the problems
in the tree section I have to understand and work more with recursion, one thing that always has been one of
my weak points. Right now I still having a lot of problems trying to understand some of the ideas, so yeah
that was take us to the next point.
I need to solve more problems to truly said that I dominate that section
No matter that I almost complete like 5 or 6 sections, I feel like the need to practice more to be able to
solve not only the problem more easily but also because I want to truly feel confortable writting tree algorithms,
recursion or working with sliding window.
So in the near future after I complete the roadmap I will spend more time solving problems in leetcode
to solidify this knowledge.
Feels amazing to complete every single challenges
I feel like problem after problem, no matter if took me a week or I have to spend more time that I expected
at the beginning after I see that the problem was completed I only can feel a really relaxing feeling inside me.
Conclusion
In short I need more practice to feel good with these problems but also I expect this year to complete this roadmap
I have around 1/3 of the roadmap made, but still a long way left, so let's see how the things evolve in the future.
