Key Takeaways and Advice
- Dive deep: Into coding on LeetCode and HackerRank. Tackle many types of challenges to hone your skills and learn the tricks.
- Know your basics cold: algorithms (like sorting and searching), data structures (think arrays, lists, trees), and how fast or heavy they are is key.
- Talk it out: Share your thoughts, walk through your code, and ask if unsure. It’s not just about the right answer but how you get there with clarity.
- Aim for the best: Look for smarter ways to solve problems. Know the give-and-take of your choices.
- Think big with system design: Wrap your head around building massive systems. How would you set up a global chat app or a carpool platform?
- Be real: Let your love for tech and cracking problems show. Be true to who you are.
Practice, basics, clear talk, smart solving, big thinking, and staying true – hone these with all you’ve got. Show that fire within you!
