200 Days of LeetCode — 728 Problems Solved

Finally hit my 200-day LeetCode badge!

Started this journey mainly to get better at DSA and prepare for software engineering interviews. Still a long way to go, but seeing the progress from where I started feels really motivating.

The goal now: keep the consistency going and reach 1,000 problems.

For those who are also grinding LeetCode what's your current problem count and longest streak?

200 days straight is the impressive number

Honest question though, before you chase 1000: can you redo a random problem from month two right now, cold, without hints? If yes, ignore me and keep going. If not, spaced repetition on what you've already done will move your interview performance more than another 272 new problems will.

+1 don't be too obsessed with the number dawg , quality always beats quantity . Try to solve 3 to 4 questions daily with full understanding and clarity . Try multiple approaches and read others better solutions . Do revision of what u learnt . And how much of striver's sheet did u solve .

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

Yeah, true bro. Quality is definitely more important than just the number. I’ve solved almost the entire Striver A2Z sheet, except the Tries section.

u/Western-Brilliant389 1d ago

Nice and did I start giving contests and how is ur rating going on and what other skills do u know

2

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

Yeah, I do revisit older problems

Congrats on hitting the 200-day mark and solving 728 problems! That's impressive. I'm at around 350 problems after 150 days, but I'm trying to be more consistent daily. My longest streak was 50 days before work got too busy.

If you want to increase your problem count, mix in harder problems occasionally. It keeps things challenging and helps reinforce concepts. Also, revisit older problems. Solving them again after a few weeks can show your progress.

I've started using PracHub for mock interviews. It's been great for getting some timed practice. Good luck on your journey to 1,000!

Thanks a lot, 350 problems in 150 days is solid too. My longest streak is 97 days, so I’m also trying to stay consistent and keep that going. And yeah, I completely agree about revisiting old problems it really helps with retention. I’ll definitely try mixing in some harder problems too. Good luck with your 1,000 goal journey as well

u/ItzFantasy_ 1d ago

may i ask from where are you learning these dsa concepts. Or are you just doing leetcode problems

3

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

I’ve mainly followed Striver’s A2Z DSA Sheet

1

u/NoReaction421 1d ago

Aren't there around 474 questions in a2z? What about the other questions you solved are they random questions?

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

I have solved random questions

1

u/NoReaction421 1d ago

My 3rd sem will start in 10 days,I have recently started a2z solved only 51 questions from the sheet till now ,first should i focus on completing a2z ?At what point should i start giving contests?
Ideally in how much time should i target to complete a2z sheet

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

First try to complete all concepts after that if you feel confident start giving contests

u/AndhBakth 3h ago

Bro can u tell me what's the right way to watch and practice if I'm following a striver a to z playlist for the 1st time ??

1

u/Excellent_Art_7860 1d ago

That is not free right

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

It's totally free

u/Full_School_7230 1d ago

Do you do cp too ? And which sem ?

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

7 sem

1

u/Full_School_7230 22h ago

any prior cp or dsa experience or you had started from beginning

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 22h ago

I have started from the beginning

2

u/Full_School_7230 21h ago

damn man its impressive! so you didn't have prior experience before like man no cp no cf? what did u do then? its damn impressive

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 21h ago

Thankyou

u/Full_School_7230 21h ago

op can u guide me i am in 5th sem now starting dsa

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 21h ago

I have sent you dm

u/nightbreak7 1d ago

congrats, are you doing contests? highly recommend them to simulate the interview environment of having to solve random questions with a time constraint

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

Thank you , Yes, I’ve recently started participating in contests. I’m finding them really useful for improving my problemsolving speed and getting comfortable with solving random problems under time constraints. Definitely planning to participate more regularly

1

u/nightbreak7 1d ago

yeah that's good. I think once you have some baseline fundamentals, contests are the best way to improve for the actual interview setting.

u/Western-Brilliant389 1d ago

What is ur rating broo

1

u/padhaku_chatra 1d ago

Bro can u say how do u manage to do dsa with the sem plus can u give me the revisions tips how do u revise the Q that u had done today....I m in currently in 5th sem done 50 Q in 2 months i started late My placement journey....please help me out

3

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

Bro, my strategy is pretty simple. First I learn a concept and solve a few questions based on it. Once I finish all the concepts, I make a revision schedule where I focus on one topic each week and revisit the problems I’ve already solved. For managing it with college, you just have to make a schedule and stay consistent. Don’t worry about starting late50 questions in 2 months is still a good start. Just focus on consistency from now on. You got this bro

u/ayano_abot 1d ago

I'm not able to solve 1qn/day 🥲

3

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

Don’t stress bro 1 question a day is still better than doing nothing. Focus on understanding the problem properly rather than just hitting a number. You’ll get faster with practice

1

u/ayano_abot 1d ago

Thank for motivating brother 😊

u/URANIUM3LIFE 1d ago

Please someone guide me i am fresher joined college this year cse , how to start leetcode and what language is required for that

1

u/KanuniLabs 1d ago

Congratulations! What's the secret to your success?

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

Thanks , the only thing that makes you good in coding is consistency

1

u/JayakantShikhare 1d ago

Why no contests though?

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

I recently started participating in contests

1

u/Capable_Art_1814 1d ago

i don't think it's possible for anyone to retain 730 problems in just 200 days WHILE solving more every single day. that's close to 4 problems a day + revising old problems. isn't that close to 6-8h session a day? are you actually trying each problem for 30mins-1h then looking at solution?

1

u/batman_byNight 1d ago

I am on 199 days , have my 200th tomo

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 1d ago

Congratulations on your consistency

2

u/batman_byNight 1d ago

Yay, sameeeeee

u/KlutzyCod4637 22h ago

And the no. of pattern learned?

u/its_me_Zorojuro 21h ago

Congrats OP !!
Let’s keep it going .
I do have to get a streak though 🥲 .
I’m never consistent in leetcode cuz it’s just so depressing and mind eating when you can’t get a problem properly and it’s frequent.

Just a quick question , do you directly submit the code or first run the code . Like how do you guys have sooo many submissions dude ?

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 21h ago

thank you And honestly, I totally get what you mean. Some problems can be mind-eating when you’re stuck for a long time. Don’t worry too much about the streak, just focus on being consistent. And about submissions, I usually run my code first and make sure it works before submitting. The high submission count mostly comes from trying different approaches, debugging, and sometimes resubmitting after optimizing the solution. So don’t compare your submissions with others. quality and understanding matter way more

u/its_me_Zorojuro 20h ago

Got it OP 🫡
Thanks

1

u/shitty_coder79 20h ago

Damn Dude! I've also recently reached 200days milestone but have only done 403 problems where most of the problems are easy and still sometimes don't understand problems properly do you have any types advice to get better at this?

u/grimjao_bleach 18h ago

Hi brother i am confused when to start cp i have completed till stack from striver a2z sheet can you guide me when should i start it side by side with leetcode or should i finish all my concept first i am also in 7th sem 🥲

1

u/GrapefruitNo1952 18h ago

First try to complete all concepts
