"Do not get overwhelmed by the hype" that was the line that helped me when I started DSA.</p> <p>To tell you the truth, I haven't even finished it yet. In fact, I am just at the beginning, but the thing is, I think everyone has their own way of doing things.</p> <p>Even after watching videos on how to do it, I went completely blank when I sat in front of the computer. So, I realized that instead of thinking about where to start, I just had to start from what I didn't know.</p> <p>Long story short, when I saw the first problem, it hit me that it wasn't the problem I didn't understand it was the data structure itself. I thought I knew it, but the only things I actually knew were its name and how it worked in theory.</p> <p>So, I just started writing data structures from scratch, implementing the logic from zero. It helped me build a core understanding of the data structures.</p> <p>Now, this worked for me, but of course, there is a lot more to it—problem-solving, logical thinking, and so on. We will go through all of that, too.</p> algorithms beginners discuss learning kensan Fri, 29 May 2026 13:40:12 +0000 https://dev.to/kenshiha/dsa-is-easy-in-theory-but-brutal-on-leetcode-3bka https://dev.to/kenshiha/dsa-is-easy-in-theory-but-brutal-on-leetcode-3bka kensan Wed, 29 Apr 2026 18:29:58 +0000 https://dev.to/kenshiha/what-is-the-most-effective-way-to-understand-dsa-4api https://dev.to/kenshiha/what-is-the-most-effective-way-to-understand-dsa-4api algorithms discuss dsa learning
