 What's up guys my is Michael and welcome to my YouTube channel today. You know what? before I start this another lead code grind and Just doing a bunch of lead code problems. I just want to explain something first After doing at least almost close to like what almost a hundred elite code problems Most of them easy ranging from some of the medium. I realize something is that once you keep doing these problems What happens is that you get to a point where? You're just not Improving at all. Okay, when you hit a Reaching point where you just keep doing the same problems over and over again You're not really improving anything at all and that's something kind of like the idea of plateauing pretty much it's when the difficulty doesn't increase at all and you're just doing the same thing over and over again and After doing almost a hundred of these problems I really feel like I have not actually been improving much So in my terms of my algorithm knowledge or any of my algorithm skills, honestly, so There's this is the thing that I'm gonna talk about is that you have to Have a plan as in that instead of just going through doing a bunch of a bunch of easy problems I think it's best if you start going through and doing Targeting specifically targeting certain skill sets that you just don't have Skill sets that you're just bad at or the skill sets that you just you don't have so for instance like I'm pretty bad at Let's see. What is one of my pretty bad? I'm pretty bad at bit manipulation So rather than just doing a bunch of the code problems for easy that and barely ever hitting bit manipulation Until like what at the six hundredth problem It's better to just go to a topic that you're really unfamiliar with and then click on bit manipulation And then do the problems here In fact, it's much easier because there's only 35 of these bit manipulation problems And once if you figure out how to do most of these you'll be If you all these actually you'll be pretty set on bit manipulation And if you if you need to find more questions you could Google search And I'm pretty sure there's some websites that I have even more bit manipulation questions. So instead of just doing a bunch of Mindlessly doing a bunch of these lead code eases I think it's best to just actually focus on targeting specific areas that you don't You have issues with that you have troubles with instead of just doing a bunch of these and then just praying that One of these easy questions would be on one of your interviews And if it's not then while you're screwed either way Also, like if you're gonna interview at one of these top companies, it's better to actually just specifically target whatever Top company you're having an interview with so if you're gonna interview at Google I think it's best if you actually buy Lee code premium because then you could actually click on top Google questions And then pretty much get started with Doing a bunch of these lead code Google questions So then if we see a Google question when you actually have your interview You'll be way more prepared on how to answer these type of questions Instead of just mindlessly doing a bunch of all these lead code questions and praying that one of them would be hit by Google and Praying one of them will be something that will ask So that's just why what I want to give you guys just want to talk about before I go on to a video or whatever Mumbling that I'm doing I just think that it's best if you guys target specific areas instead of just doing a bunch of lead code And that's the same thing as when you do like cracking the coding interview when you're doing cracking the coding interview Don't just go through the whole book and just start reading like page by page by page because You're not gonna target specific key issues that you're gonna have during the interview So if you have like a trouble issue with like I don't know design questions might as well just jump to the design questions Chapter and then start doing those Questions instead of just being like oh, yeah, I'm gonna go through The first hundred pages, you know and just sometimes if I if I hit a design questions, and yeah I'll do well on it, but no no you actually have to actually have to go through and deep go deeply into these questions and then Target specific areas that you have trouble with but yeah, that's basically what I was gonna talk about today I hope you guys enjoy this video because it's something that I had to have an address to at all addressed addressed Yeah But yeah rate com subscribe. I'll check you guys in another video. I haven't really been uploading that much lately But now I'm gonna get back into the the grind Into doing these lead code problems because I pretty much I dropped my hardest class in college So I that opens up a lot of free time for me to do a bunch of more algorithms and data structures questions and also I might actually do some Contests live contests. All right, so when there's a contest coming up on code chef code forces or Any of these contests? I'll actually do them with you guys. I did a contest offer on lead code I was able to finish the first two questions and the third one was a hard question And I'll probably go over that later on but if you are able to do these questions If you look if you want me to do these type of interview questions not just any of your questions I mean do these type of contests live contests. Let me know down in the comment section below and as always Keep doing the lead code grind rate com subscribe and I'll check you guys later
