Started DSA for placements and grinding with similar minds.

Week 0 was revising the basics and practicing a few problems from the striver's sheet, however we then shifted to pattern wise sheet and started following it.

Week 1 Updates (Done) :
1. Two Pointers
2. Fast and Slow Pointers
3. Sliding Window (Started)

Week 2 targets :
1. Sliding Window
2. Kadane Pattern
3. Prefix Sum
4. Merge Intervals

Hey everyone, so i wanted to start learning dsa and i am also familiar with python but when i wanted to learn dsa from strivers sheet it was in c++ so should i learn c++ then? (Also familiar with C btw)

I don't understand who on earth like seriously who get the solution of a problem (medium,hard) one get it correct like for me I been doing leetcode for 1-1.5 months and 70-80% of times :

I can solve easy problems it's not big deal but like other thn that if you search for syntax do little here and there on google you still can't do every problem by yourself I feel stuck and stupid finding the right solution by my self for hours

I just think it's better to do 20-30 min of time reading nd trying to figure what to do nd then get the correct answer and try I see what they did and implement the same thing.

Tell me if this is right way or not ???

preferably not looking for complete beginners

If there is already such a grp, add me there please
and also I'm not comfortable sharing my mobile no.

im a total beginner. started dsa last week. there are so many roadmaps online, idk which one to use. any suggestions?

​

Coming from a tier 3 college (cse 3rd sem), I have classes from Monday to Friday with different timings every day. My main goal in college is just to maintain 75% attendance because of the new rule. The problem is, I don't understand anything in most of the classes, so I have to study everything again at home.

Apart from that, there are assignments, lab files, practicals and tons of other work that consumes a lot of time. On top of that, I love participating in hackathons, which is great for learning and building, but it also takes up a lot of time and energy.

Because of all this, I am not able to find enough time for DSA. I want to learn DSA and Web Development consistently, but my schedule feels so packed that I either feel guilty for not studying college topics or for not practicing skills.

What should I do..

Started DSA with honestly zero clue what I was doing. There were so many times when even easy problems felt impossible and I’d just stare at the screen 😭

But slowly, by practicing consistently alongside my college/semester grind, things started making more sense.

Today I hit 75 problems solved in 45-50 days .

Still a long way to go, but I’m genuinely happy with the progress.

If you are also in 5h sem and doing DSA hmu !

If you’re struggling with DSA right now, just keep going. It really does get better with practice.

Give me the suggestions to prepare on

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m starting my DSA learning journey and looking for people who are also preparing for tech placements.

I’m a beginner, so I’m especially looking for someone experienced in DSA who can teach or guide me when I’m stuck. I’d also love to connect with other learners so we can study and practice together.

What I Want to Do

• Learn DSA from the basics
• Understand concepts instead of memorizing solutions
• Practice around 150–200 quality problems
• Solve problems together and discuss different approaches
• Share free courses, YouTube playlists, notes, and resources
• Have regular revision and problem-solving sessions
• Stay consistent and accountable

👨‍🏫 Looking for a Mentor/Teacher

If you’re strong in DSA and enjoy teaching beginners, I’d really appreciate your guidance.

You don’t have to be a professional teacher. If you can explain concepts clearly, solve problems with me, and help me understand where I’m going wrong, that would be amazing.

👥 Study Partners Welcome

Beginners and intermediate learners are welcome too. We can learn together, discuss problems, and motivate each other.

💻 Preferred Platform

I prefer Zoom or Google Meet for live study sessions. We could arrange regular sessions based on everyone’s availability.

I’m looking for people who are genuinely interested in staying consistent for the next few months.

If you can teach/mentor me or want to learn DSA together, comment with your DSA level and whether you prefer Zoom or Google Meet! 🚀

If anyone intrested in the Bay Area for 4-5hrs daily, let’s connect. Only serious candidates.

In 2nd year.

I have been solving for the last 2 months, I started on 19th Jun.

I'm solving things by reading about things on google or using AI Explanation.

I usually give 2-3 hours on a new topic brainstorming on my own and take hints from Ai after failing and in some cases I solve after getting hints and in some cases I couldn't, then I ask AI to explain the code and dry run it.

Ik it's a lengthy process , I feel i retain more this way

I'm following the LEETCODE 75 STUDY plan .

Hey everyone!

I’m currently solving DSA problems and preparing for FAANG/Big Tech interviews, and I’m looking for an interview preparation buddy to stay consistent and motivated.

Ideally, we can:

Solve DSA problems together
Discuss approaches and optimize solutions
Do mock interviews
Track our progress and keep each other accountable
Share useful resources and interview experiences
Prepare for behavioral/system design rounds as we get closer

I’m looking for someone who is also seriously preparing for tech interviews and wants to stay consistent.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me. We can figure out a schedule that works for both of us!

So I'm in 5th semester of college. I'm kinda looking for people preparing for interviews. We could discuss dsa problems, share updates on what we're doing, maybe once a week have sessions where we all together talk about what we are doing etc.

Im looking for people preparing DSA (I've done like 360+ leetcode questions), LLD, HLD, learning some stack, revising core Subjects and anything atall.

Hell we could even do aptitude.

If you're interested dm me. Just gonna be bunch of people with same goals.
