Day 17-18 of #NeetCode150 I picked an easy one and to try and review .pop() making a pairs dict. I also picked up Kimball's Data Modeling book per recommendation from my mentor so I up my game.

Day 16 of #NeetCode150 I am using my weekends as review days and looking at old questions

Day 15 of #NeetCode150 this one was just tedious I built off the my previous 2 sum problem but this was a lot of googling and really thinking through what I was actually trying to do.

Day 14 of #NeetCode150 my brute force was exceeding a time limit so I had to get some help for the not brute force method but proud of myself for getting to a brute force answer and that sometimes shoving into a empty array isn't the best idea. Exposed I struggle w while loops.

Day 13 #NeetCode150 I knew this one from previous work but this question wanted to get rid of the "bad stuff" in the s parameter. I don't think there's a more efficient way to solve based on the video and what the answer key says. I want to just commit to memory.

Day 12 of #NeetCode150 I had a hard time understanding what the question was asking so I'm putting in my anki deck make sure you understand what "consecutive sequence" is asking for in this paragraph. The code was long I want to learn the other answer that was more efficient.

Day 11 of #NeetCode150 this was another pseudo code and ask for help via the youtube video attached to it. I also am working with a mentor on mock interviewing these and fixing how I talk through these so I sound more senior vs junior to him by talking about economics of my code.

Day 10 of #NeetCode150 I went over some old ones and wanted to force myself to understand why my one liner might not be the best answer even tho I reach for it and understanding memory and cost effectiveness

Day 9 of #NeetCode150 today is no new problems just a review day I am spending a few hours at a cute cozy new to me coffee shop and reading grokking algorithms to help supplement understanding how to measure how fast my code is. Also taking time to make new anki cards .

Day 8 of #NeetCode150 this one hurt because I know I've seen this before but forgot most of it so I googled hard. I am now assigning myself readings on understanding hash map and why some solutions are better and applying it to the easy for me questions.

Day 7 of #NeetCode150 I got to this point and just decided I'm going to watch the explanation video I just didn't know how to get past this part without help and that's ok I love how it was explained to me and realized I need to go back through the older questions and explain On

I forgot how much I enjoyed new things when doing #100Devs and I also forgot that there was a time where I struggled really hard with even the most basic 8kyus. I'm giving myself grace and got lucky that #NeetCode150 has another great teacher on youtube to learn from and that it's ok that

Day 6 of #NeetCode150 I found out yesterday there were detailed videos for answers and now I'm going back watching older ones and they do an amazing job of explaining the answers. But here's todays this was hard because it was 2 functions and forced me to do a while loop.

Day 5 of #NeetCode150 this one took a lot of googling I knew because of the pattern to start with an empty dict and that I would be using sorted() but needed help with making the count dictionary after the for loop and how to return my tuple by frequency.

Day 4 of #NeetCode150 this took a lot of googling for me but sort of the same skill from yesterday I knew setting to an empty dict and returning a list off the bat and using sorted() was the tip off because I say "ordered" and "anagram" but had to google the inside of for loop.

Day 3 of #NeetCode150 and this one wasn't easy. Had to psuedo code and use google a lot especially with the loop. I put 10 mins on a timer and just psuedo coded most of this and then probably spent 20 minutes just googling. Taking my time to anki this one #100Devs

Day 2 #NeetCode150 its the 75 blind + 75 more. The tip off was "anagram" that sorted() was needed and then a simple compare with an if/else and my final answer I made it as DRY as possible. Also am redoing my Anki based off this challenge. No more copying questions. I'm now asking questions like

#100Devs I need to get better at leetcode so I'm doing #NeetCode150 solving 1 new problem every day and using socials as my accountability partner. So here's the 1st one. Array and "appears more then once" were my tip off to use len() set() and compare.
