No idea man! I really appreciate the tech guys for what they do and their skills.
Understand the Problem:
Brainstorm Possible Solutions:
Design an Algorithm:
Implement the Solution:
Test and Debug the Code:
Optimize and Improve:
Hey Guys,
When tackling a coding challenge, I like to:
Break it down into smaller parts.
Understand the problem thoroughly before diving in.
Sketch out potential solutions on paper.
Test each part as I go to catch bugs early.
When I face a coding challenge, I first ensure I understand the problem. Then, I plan a solution, write the code, test it thoroughly, and finally, optimize for performance and readability. Practice is key to enhancing these problem-solving skills.
Take your time to dive deep into the problem, analyze the cause, and fix it. Then spend some time to make it as efficient and clean as possible. ✨
Or, try the more popular approach: Think about a possible solution, try it, fail. Think about another solution, try that one, fail again. Repeat the process 2 to 5 times.
Eventually, you'll understand the grumpiness of software developers. 🤣
Breaking down the problem into smaller steps, after solving each step, testing to see if it gives the expected results, if not, fix it, repeat until solved :)
2 important thing to add:
* Check if the problem has been solved already: Web search, Stack Overflow search, etc.
* Backtracking: Check if the problem you want to solve really needs to be solved for the for your actual objective (at a higher level), or if this objective can be reached in a "completely different" way more easily.
