LeetCode : : :

loop loop lollipop 😜

Bitwise feels a bit weird in #kotlin

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

I'm thinking to shifting from C++ to #Kotlin gradually for DSA .
While C++ is good & I personally believe nothing beats the C++ STL for pure algorithmic speed and ease .
but kotlin is my main tech stack & I want my problem solving to reflect the tools I use for development .

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

I think I should practice like this , by putting a #Notepad window over the #LeetCode editor . This might me get used to typing for interviews , as many companies require you to write code in Notepad or Word or something else without any help .

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

is it really this hard , or am I just overcomplicating it .

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

just random brainstorming.

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

That moment when you know exactly what is wrong with your code , but you still don't know how to fix it .

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

This is my best overcomplicated solution on #Tree data structure.

nothing can make a code more elegant than #recursion .

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

i used cout statements to manually track my mistakes . It helped me observe that I was including the '.' character in the email name which I was not supposed to do . and i fixed that , it worked .
I never thought of this before ....

can we use this trick in actual interviews ?

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

@MohitLearning When I did my first blood donation in college , they said anyone who donated would have their attendance marked for that lecture . So I did it , but they never marked the attendance 🤥.

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

Definitely I overcomplicated the logic on this one , but #recursion still worked

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

my favorite question which uses the imaginary #stack

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

I first attempted this in a #LeetCodeContest but could not solve it . After 6 failed submissions , it sticked with me . today I suddenly felt like trying it again , and after using all three hints , I finally solved the second most frustrating #LeetCode problem of my life

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

its quite hard to trap water

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

it took me an hour

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

I think it is the new lowest

[Pratik Bhatkar @pratikplusplus]

the topics showed it requires stack / monotonic stack but i couldn't figure it how????? so used vector for faster traversing instead of rechecking approach
