How do you learn DSA?

Honestly, the more you think, the harder it becomes. "Do not get overwhelmed by the hype" that was the line that helped me when I started DSA.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
