mann.. 5 years after graduating , and i still feel that dsa rounds are one tough cookie.
i didn't do dsa for last 5 uears as i was busy in my daily dev life. then recently i planned for a switchz started preparing ds algo, got myself into a classroom course and now its been over 1 month and stuff just ... flies out of mind
like, our class has only covered arrays , searching sorting and string based questions till now. and since my interview is tomorrow i thought of going back to the classroom notes and revise all the questions.
and i can hardly remember 10/50!
I clearly remember understanding those questions well, putting comments and examples on the functions and doing them on my own without copying teachers code.
now all those notes are taking time to get back into memory. feels like i am dependent on checking tthe solution again n again to complete the problem.
this is truly scary. as of now i don't even had classes for advanced topics like recursion tres or graphs. the course will probably cover 400-500 problems.
if i go blank state after not doing these questions for a few months. how am i supposed to crack coding interviews which are usually scheduled within 2-3 days of notice?
