Diversifying Learning Resources
When you are stuck on a particular data structure or algorithm for a long time, it is better to expand your sources beyond a single method.
- If a specific tutorial is not helping, try to explore different textbooks or online resources for diverse explanations that will supplement your learning.
- Utilize different coding platforms. Suppose if a particular topic is causing trouble, use a different platform and try to solve easy problems of that topic on a different platform so that you can clear your basics first.
- Try to give coding contests on different platforms and make a habit of upsolving. Suppose you are able to solve 2 problems in a contest, try to solve the 3rd and 4th problem after the contest for a well-rounded learning experience.
What to do if I get stuck in Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA)?
Learning Data Structures and Algorithms is like a big adventure where you explore various techniques that tell us how to solve complex problems in computer science. It’s like solving a puzzle where you might not be sure what piece goes where. Thus there are times when you might feel stuck while learning DSA. This blog will help to overcome those difficulties as we talk about why it’s normal to feel stuck, how to get through it, and share some tricks to make your learning journey smoother.
