For me it was Dynamic Programming,
Had a hard time understanding when to use it in problems and still now i'm kinda afraid of it mainly the ones coupled with trees and graphs

One of the reasons is that i was unable to find appropriate resources on how to use and understand DP and also cuz i'm kinda dumb

Lol only a self-deprecating genius could have a hard time with dynamic programming, and still feel kinda dumb 😁
If intelligence could be quantfied, then maybe the ability to transform data outside of its structure would be a better start than the joke that is IQ.

For me, even until now, after 3 years from the first time I read and studied about DP, I still forget almost everything about it and have to study again to keep it fresh in my mind.
