As a graphic designer who’s venturing into more technical domains like motion design, I initially didn’t think coding would be a key part of my creative process. But as I kept pushing myself to learn and solve problems on platforms like LeetCode, I realized just how much it’s boosted my logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.</p> <p><strong>Here’s a quick overview of my journey:</strong></p> <ol> <li><p><strong>Starting Point:</strong> I began with basic problems, focusing on understanding concepts like arrays, strings, and loops. The key was consistency—dedicating time daily, even if it was just 15-30 minutes.</p></li> <li><p><strong>The Challenges:</strong> Some days were tough! I often got stuck on problems, but I found that tackling them with patience and breaking them down step-by-step helped. It was about staying persistent and not giving up.</p></li> <li><p><strong>The Growth:</strong> As time went on, I began to understand algorithms like Dynamic Programming, Graph Theory, and Trees much better. What was once overwhelming became more intuitive.</p></li> <li><p><strong>The Badge:</strong> Earning the Annual Badge was a huge accomplishment. It wasn’t just about solving problems—it was a testament to my growth as a coder, and it fueled my desire to keep learning.</p></li> </ol> <p><strong>If you’re just starting out, here are a few things that helped me:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <strong>Consistency is key:</strong> Even if you can only do a few problems a day, the cumulative effect adds up over time.</li> <li> <strong>Break down problems:</strong> When you get stuck, take a step back. Break the problem into smaller, manageable chunks.</li> <li> <strong>Learn from solutions:</strong> Don’t just stop when you solve a problem—take time to read other users' solutions and learn new techniques.</li> <li> <strong>Join the community:</strong> LeetCode’s forums and discussions are great for learning from others and solving problems together.</li> </ul> <p>I’m looking forward to continuing this journey and taking on even more challenging problems. For anyone interested in improving their coding skills or preparing for technical interviews, <strong>LeetCode</strong> is a fantastic platform!</p> <h4> <a name="connect-with-me-on-linkedin" href="#connect-with-me-on-linkedin"> </a> 🔗 Connect with me on LinkedIn: </h4> <p>Let’s dive deeper into the world of software engineering together!
