If you've never been shockingly joyful and surprised at a wonderful experience, after going through with something you weren't really sure about, you've led a boring and predictable life.

Semi interesting article. But remember folks, Wealth ≠ success. Smart ≠ wealth.

A readable, sensible, step-by-step solution — After a break, I started teaching myself more of Python by taking on data structure and algorithms questions on Leetcode. The reverse an integer one is one I thought would be simple enough to dive back in. I chose to write about this question because, while simple, there are many…

A Step-by-Step Guide with Code Walk Through In this Leetcode problem, we’re told that we’re given an ordered array of positive integers that has some missing numbers as input, along with a number (k). Our task: find the kth missing number in that input array. Sounds more complicated than it…

Remember those edge cases! While this problem might not be too difficult at first glance, I believe the main lesson of it is dealing with edge cases. The problem states that we’ll get a string of upper/lower case alphabet characters, along with white spaces. All we have to do is…

Applying separation of concerns concepts and backtrack recursion After bootcamp graduation I spent a lot of time learning CS fundamentals, data structures and algorithms. And while I have seen and solved problems using recursion before (hello binary search tree traversals!) this was the first time I encountered a problem where…

I’m a visual learner and thinker. So let’s tackle this leetcode problem in a non-esoteric way. Problem Statement Pretty simple when it’s not in mathy/code speak: we’re given one number (n) and another number (k). We have to return the kth factor of n. If there isn’t the kth factor, we should…

I was recently solving a problem, where one of the sub problems to solve was finding the second largest number in an array of integers. I’m humble enough to admit it: I froze for a bit. I know the typical methods for moving/returning at the start and end we use…

A guide to solving LeetCode #46: Permutations If you’re reading this, I reckon that, like me, you were having difficulty solving this LeetCode problem. Or, also like me, you want to lean into understanding recursion better. This is the post for you. We’ll go through my step-by-step solution on how…
