Day 1 (26/01)
Only did one question today + got stuck at the other question (Account Merge). Watched neetcode for account merge but decided to give up halfway because I don’t understand union find well enough. I think I may want to learn union find properly tonight first before I try and watch the solution for this question again. I feel that I am more confident when I am thinking about questions which is a good thing even though I didn’t end off today properly.
Day 2 (27/01)
Completed the question I was stuck on yesterday. I feel a little nervous because hard questions like Account Merge exist and I am not sure if I would be able to solve the question if I were given that question during an interview. It seems like I have slowed down a lot the past week / few days because the questions are getting a lot harder (or maybe it is because I have not seen the questions before). I managed to solve sort colors today, which is something I wasn’t too confident about in the past. I would like to articulate my thoughts clearer especially when I am writing out the solution on pen and paper. 26 more questions to go, let’s go!!
Day 3 (28/01)
Honestly don’t feel like doing anything today. Glad that I at least got 1 question done :)
Day 4 (29/01)
Skipped - overslept
Day 5 (30/01)
Feels that I am back into the rhythm of doing leetcode. Writing down my thoughts on pen and paper very goated and actually helps me process my thoughts a lot better. For example, I could finally do the spiral matrix question without getting stuck on edge cases (even though i did get stuck for a short amount of time)!
