In my Problem Solving Journey

Hey, I am so delighted to say that I was able to take the next step in my competitive programming journey. I started with no knowledge of linked lists and have now begun learning some of the tougher concepts. After covering the basics, I moved on to more complicated topics. I’ve learned about linked lists and tackled a few related questions over the past few days. Today, I focused on Dojo-related questions, as I need them for my upcoming dojo this week. I made a plan with that in mind. So, today I worked on four different questions that were from linked list and also from array. One was difficult which is based on linked list, while the other three were moderately challenging from array.

First and foremost i would like to start of with my dojo belt test which i took in morning to be frank i though that i will be able to clear the belt but unfortunately i was able to do only two question which is also good as i did only one in my last belt test. And for learning more about linked list i was following an youtube channel. It helped me a lot with the proper guidance that i need to solve the questions.

For the first question, I did flower bed question in which we are asked to plant the flowers and return the we were able to arrange from the given array it was easy the array consist of 0 and 1. For understanding it and also for approach i watched a youtube video. It was helpful. For next question also i followed the same way that is assign cookies, it was explained so nicely in the video. For the third question i did remove duplicates from the array. In this we should print one number only once’s if it is repeated we should remove it and return the new array. I felt it to be easy compare to the first one and i was improving every day and it felt good to see myself better than yesterday.

Last but not least, I did set the given linked list by removing the occurrences of x where we need to remove the element if it is same as the x then return the new value it is linked list i felt it to be the most difficult one for today. That all for the day. Overall, the day was great and productive.
