This is the most effective video I have ever seen!!
Step1: get the premium subscription
Step2: start with the top 100 questions
Step3: focus on questions topic by topic
Step4: practice with a plan
Step5: Solve company specific questions
PS: don't look my comment unless you have watched the entire video. I have written just a summary the whole video is explained very well
Points from the video:
Plan:
- First start with the 100 most liked questions. First 50 should be only easy or medium-level questions
- Next choose a topic, order the questions from highest to lowest acceptance rate. Solve at least 20 questions or until the patterns "click" before moving on to another topic. Sample list to start off: Binary search, Two pointers, Binary Tree, Backtracking, DFS, BFS, Graphs, Dynamic Programming
How to practice:
-Start with easy and medium. Go for hard once you know you are ready
- Don't spend more than 30 mins on an easy and not more than an hour on a medium. Then if you can't solve on, look at the solution and move on
- Learn from the solution. Understand the pattern and techniques. Look at discussion board/ videos to optimize solution and understand better
- Revisit questions especially once you couldn't solve
- Solve company-specific questions (premium subscription comes useful here)
The "-Start" kills me
The most liked questions are the harder even the “easy” ones couldn’t solve under 1h
thanks for this video man, i have been looking for a clear guide on how to tackle leetcode, i've not had a tech interview for over 5years now!! overall, your channel has great contents! i've subscribed and will be loojing forward to much greater contents in the future!!
Hey, your way of explaining us this is so humble and perfect. I would surely follow your steps! Thanks Mr. Pirate :)
Your advise is really straight forward and no BS. Thank you for the upload! : - )
Thank you so much for sharing this! I just solve like 200 questions and most of them were ez, but however I can't do most of them and have to check the solutions, but a few days before I'm starting to find out a way to make the pattern to solve similar questions, like two pointers for array, sliding windows for reducing runtime...etc
Hey, where can I get leetcode solutions?
@@divyareddy7622 Click discussion or if you subscribed, there's a solution option you can click.
I really appreciate this. I assumed it was best to just get started wherever but this is a better plan.
Soo glad this was recommended by the algorithm!! Just a thing I noticed, I don't know if you're reading a script or looking yourself but try making direct eye contact to the lenses while speaking! makes a huge difference, makes you appear more confident, and also helps in maintaining audience retention!! Thanks for these tips and hope you grow a lot😀👍
Glad you found it helpful! Will incorporate your suggestion and be more natural in my future videos XD
Please don’t look directly at the camera lenses. Some of us are uncomfortable with direct eye contact.
@@dw4525 lol
im busily applying for jobs now, but If I want to go for FANG i'm definitely gonna do this. just been grinding random leetcode questions and I now have a much more better timeline. thank you!!!!
This is the best plan in the whole of UA-cam, Leetcode blog, medium and the whole of internet 😍
Thank you for this. Every other video says to just solve 300-1000 questions.
I had a hard time figuring out where to start.
Just started my preparations. This was really helpful :)
How is the prep going? Did these techniques help? Also, how different do you feel now from 4 months ago with regards to coding?
Ngl I trust u with my life tech wise bc of your coding while laying down video. Seriously. I shall listen.
Awesome job. Thank you for putting this together.
this is such an awesome video. love the approach that you laid out!
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks man, i only focused on ml upto now. I will now prepare for both data science and se roles
Your videos are awesome and you have a great charisma! Subscribed 👌👌
rare for me to like a video , you kept it short and honest
thank you
Very helpful and really a leetcode-oriented and interview-oriented learning method.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!. This was really helpful :)
Thanks for the advice. I will start topic wise solving now
Thanks for the video, just what I needed!
Immediately followed. Easily the most helpful video on the internet on how to break this down.
Is it worth it to get the premium? Like I want to invest but I'm hesitating. Can you share your experience till date
Brilliant video. Thanks for these tips. Really helpful 👍
Wow. Never thought like that. Thank you so much for such valuable information and tricks. ❤
Really appreciate the video !!! Looking forward to more amazing videos !
Thanks! Will try my best! XD
thanks, this was very helpful and a very good video.
The 30 minute tip was one of those that took me a lot of time to get!
Thanks you very much for sharing! I'd really like to recover what I have lost in the last years of my Software Engineer professional career. I want to start writing effective algorithms again and why not, apply for a better job. A few months ago I got a proposal from Amazon ES and I remember getting getting struggle with all the topics that I needed to revise I the end I didn't find the time to study all while I was working. It's time to spend some time of every day on practice with this tool.
thanks alot for the guidance.
Thank you so much for this 🙏
This is so helpful!
Hi Pirate!
In a few weeks, I will finish my dissertation so, I am starting to prepare myself for the interviews. One question, how much time, per day, did you spend in leetcode while you were preparing for the interviews?
Another thing, what do you think about doing a video on how you prepared for the interviews?
I just started watching your videos yesterday, and I am loving it!
Thank you so much and best regards from Portugal!
I think I spent at least two hours a day. I’ll consider making a vid in the future. Thanks for the suggestions!
You are a life saver thank you
Really well said. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your videos.
thank you king , it will be helpful
I really like what you do bro and been following buh wanted to ask if I can help you open other channels for other languages so that I translate most of of your videos to others languages 😊
Im subscribing this is such good advice
I will complete this all and update here ❤️ Thank you brother for suggestion
My Goal Is to Complete 180 Strivers DSA Sheet 🔥
Hello
Update :
Learned Data Structures Implementation Now Solving Leetcode Questions 🎯😍
@@beingcheercool nj gl 👏
Thank you very much!
Really great advice for beginner who has to climb a big mountain of hell of algorithms and data structure, thank you! but wondering whether your recommended course would be good for who is between jobs for beginner have to prepare javascript algorithms test🤔
The only resource I used is literally the solutions and discussions in leetcode. I don’t have anything else to recommend for that reason, but try searching in youtube for leetcode tutorials :)
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Wow..thank you for your gentle comment and sharing your experience! wish you spend happy sunday:)
I really liked this style of video!
This video was super useful
Thanks for the video, really helpful. Where do you think is a good place for me to refresh/learn those DS & Algo used for "Focus on topic by topic" section?
Try focusing on the topics you think are the weakest. e.g. Binary Search, Trees, Graphs (DFS, BFS), Dynamic Programming, Backtracking, Recursion, Two Pointers, etc. Out of these, which are the ones that you need to work on the most? Only you can answer that :)
You are not only Pirate king and also motivation king😂♥️
Exactly the video I wanted
thansk, great advice!
Thank you!
LIKED! THANK U BRO
The new Tech Lead
Thank you
I think the first step is to learn the syntax of at least 1 language and get to know data structures if you have never programmed at all like me when I made up my mind to change my career path to Software Engineers
thanks bro!!!
For the buying subscription part. I am planning to buy once i solve 100 problems on leet code.
I really want to solve Leetcode questions but I feel that my basics(Arrays, Strings and Recursion) aren't up to the mark, so what should I do to improve on those!? And thank you so much for this video, it really was an eye opener!
Try codingbat.com if you know java/python
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Thank you so much Daniel!
you're a king
starting to prepare for amazon - the goal is to crack within this year.
thank you for the great advice will follow these for sure.
ill update my journey here
1 month update - learned javascript es6 to es22
learned and implemented Arrays HashTables, linkedList ,statcks and queues
on side learned about Version Control - And made 2 MERN Stack project
currently learning NEXT.js and TypeScript and practicing 2question of dsa everyday
after 4 months Got a frontend Job at a small startup
gl!
I'm learning Java now, along with java what I want to learn to clear interviews in startup
Please guide me.
How is your journey ?
Helpful
Thanks Brother👍
No problem 👍
What are your thoughts on the infamous book CTCI, is it really necessary or should I just follow the steps above?
Edit: Thank you so much for helpful tips!
I’ve had the book myself, read it, done it, and found out that the same questions are available on LeetCode with better explanations and solutions. Long story short, just leedcode :)
Hey man. Cool video, really helpful :)
Do you think it's a good idea to leetcode even when you're not planning to job-hop for a while? Or should you grind only prior to the interview season?
i guess it doesn't hurt to practice and study whenever you have the chance to. i really think it's a good habit. i don't do it however, cuz i'm a little lazy haha
I am so weak at problem solving and Im not good at dsa do you have advice?
Ty ty ty 🙏
great video
Is it normal that im not able to solve almost any problem without looking for hints or the solution? LOL
I was like that at first
Everyone was like for their first hundred
@@nated7373 This makes me feel so much more relaxed omg I thought I was just really stupid (which makes sense for me cause I haven't even been to university yet)
@@FPLogistic Most people with their first 100 - 200 problems were like that. (Most likely 200). After you go throu your first 200 problems couple times you will start having ideas on how to solve problem without seeing solution.
start from some basic Binary search, 2 pointer, BFS, DFS, BT/BST for your first 100, then add graph for your 100 - 200. dont do any other topics.
@@nated7373 my boy i haven't even taken DS yet 😭
you got a new subscriber
Thanks and Welcome!
Great Explaination
.
.
.
but did you find any of the leetcode problems and solutions in the on-desk job when u got the job after the interview?
Some
Please make a video on how to begin coding on free platforms like 1st or 2nd yera student, I'll be really grateful if you do this,btw love you bro🙇
Awesome!
good video buddy
good plan. Thank you for it.
Just random question, how many problems u solved each day? any such daily goals u followed?
When I prepared for a company jump, I solved at least 5 a day. Just before interviews, at least 10 a day.
@@PIRATEKINGDOM awesome. So like mentioned in video when u get stuck u watch solution after 30 mins in Easy and 1 hrs in Medium problems? or how was that?
@@NirmalSilwal I did exactly that + I always revisited them at some point
@@PIRATEKINGDOM got it. Thank you for your response 😊
thank you
You’re welcome!
This video was super helpful! Just wondering, does this plan assume you’re leetcoding at least 1 hour everyday for 3 months?
Hmm... it depends on your timeline I guess. But I did spend at least three hours a day :p
@@PIRATEKINGDOM even on weekends? 😵💫
@@kellyd2973 I actually did during the last month of the preparation
Does it not make more sense to start with algorithms specific first? And then 100 most liked? I feel like that would build a better foundation for the 100 liked questions, rather than the other way around. Either way I’ve never studied by topic for leecode so I’ll try that!
Very well scripted and explained. 👍👍👍👍
Also try to solve them as quickly as you can. It helps you get better at leetcode faster.
Damn, this video is so underrated
Its a fairly new channel but do share it with your peers its good
Thanks! Glad you like it! XD
@@rodygod3421 I think u r his wife Right
i’m not intending on becoming a software engineer but I wanna get good at leetcode lol 😅
the hardest part for me is how to make a plan. I have practiced for couple weeks, but have no clue about the learning plan.
How do you think I should approach this?
Should I learn DSA topics first, then do leetcode questions later? Or For each topic I learn I do questions on that topic, and repeat for other topics?
You should first grasp a comprehensive knowledge on the overall DSA.
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Thank you man ; ) Will learn the concepts of DSA on my university break. Appreciate your answer as well.
Hii, I got some negatives in me I can solve questions but I require time to think about it maybe i am not doing it correctly please suggest me how to improve it
Hi Pirate, I want to learn Java coding to work on Test Automation. DO you think I can still follow the same steps that you provided in this video?
I don't think companies require heavy LeetCoding (coding interview skills) for test automation, but I might be wrong.
Thabkyou babe
Can i codding with python what did you started with
Everybody start here!
Would it be wise to buy premium straight away and start going through all questions slowly? Also I assume it would totally improve an individuals skills and enhance the likelihood of successful tech related interviews. I guess would you suggest this to any person with any starting skill set to learn and also to prepare for jobs?
Yes, solutions are only available with lc premium, and premium members aren’t restricted to the frequency of submissions.
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Thank you boss!
when you chose leetcode questions by specific companies, did you choose it from "6 months" or "all time" category?
6 months
You know I’ve tried all of these points but I feel like no matter how much I go I just never fully understand a concept. Been trying so many resources from neetcode 150 to grokking to specific company questions. Doing problems learning from solutions and then doing similar problems. But not matter what it just feels like I haven’t learned anything. I know I have but it just never feels like enough
What do you mean by step 4 - Practice with a plan
Does it helps for the coding rounds before we actually go face coding interview . For the faang or other MNC.
It does! That's how I prepared :p
Thank you bro
As someone from a non cs background, but still highly mathematical (masters in engineering from a very competitive uni) how long do you think it takes to get good at these? Right now I've just been learning patterns and trying to apply them to various problems. But honestly it's really hard sometimes
I agree. It is hard. I would say it's become quite an industry standard to prep at least 3 months.
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Ah yeah I'd imagine 3 months is a reasonable timeline, like anything I guess the key is to just stay consistent even if you only practice a bit each dsy
I’m a beginner, but just some insight from looking at various solutions given to the Two sum problem. One of the slowest solutions, was mathematically in depth and complicated, barely readable, yet it works. Just as well as readable, concise code. Your math skills put you on a higher problem solving level than most beginners, but don’t try to over-apply math when it’s not needed.
잘보고 갑니다~
Hi Pirate King I trust that you are doing well, I'm a Software Development student just starting out and I would really appreciate some mentoring and I strongly believe you are the right person I need. I would really appreciate your reply and consideration.. Thank you

@@PIRATEKINGDOM thank you ! I currently started using VSCode but i can't code in it . I intalled VSCode and minGW but still it aint working
Hi kaizoku..would you recommend starting with python or java?? I am really comfortable with both the languages..just wanted to ask which one will be a better opt to start
For Leetcode, python
I’m a computer science student and I’m scared for my future as I feel like my skills aren’t enough for the industry yet. I only know around 3 programming languages (C, C++, Python) and I’m not even very much good at it. What can you suggest I should do? Can I still make it and succeed in coding interviews in the near future? I feel like quitting because I feel so left behind my peers :(
3 PLs r more than enough for an entry level. Make ur own website/project. I have a video to get u started on what to build (learn to code for free). Join my discord server (links in descriptions) for career advice from the community :)
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Omgggg I'm fangirling rn!! Thank youuuuu 🥺 I love uuuu
Does it matter what programming language I choose for problem solving. I have been programming in python so I am more confident in that rather than any other language?
Python's the best language for coding interviews. I made a video about it. Check it out when you can!
Even though how much I practice dynamic programming problems, I can not be master at it. :(( The term “pattern” seems not to exist when it comes to this type of problem :(( Can someone tell me the way to practice this kind of problem in an effective way ? :(((((
