Today I implemented Array Reversal in Java using the Two-Pointer Technique! 🔄 Logic: ∙ Set left = 0 and right = arr.length - 1 ∙ Swap elements at both ends ∙ Move pointers inward until they meet ✅ Input: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ✅ Output: 5 4 3 2 1 💡 Why Two-Pointer? Instead of using extra space, we swap in-place — making it O(n) time and O(1) space! No extra array needed. Just two pointers doing the work. 💪 Every small concept I practice brings me one step closer to DSA mastery. Keep building. Keep learning. 🙌 #100daysofcode #dsa #java #program #array #problem #leetcode #javadeveloper #learning

💻 Practicing Binary to Decimal Conversion using Java Today I worked on converting a binary number into its decimal equivalent using logic and iteration. 🔍 Key Learnings: Understanding how binary digits map to powers of 2 Strengthening loop and mathematical logic Improving problem-solving skills step by step Instead of just memorizing, I focused on understanding the logic deeply and practicing with different inputs. 📌 Example: Binary: 1010 → Decimal: 10 Consistency + Practice = Progress 🚀 #Java #DSA #CodingJourney #Programming #100DaysOfCode #LearnToCode #ProblemSolving #DeveloperJourney #CodingPractice #TechSkills

🚀 Day 41 / 180 – DSA with Java 🚀 📘 Topic Covered: Matrices & Marking Technique 🧩 Problem Solved: Set Matrix Zeroes Problem: Given a matrix, if an element is 0, set its entire row and column to 0. Approach: Used two auxiliary arrays to mark rows and columns that contain zeroes. In a second pass, updated the matrix by setting elements to zero based on the marked rows and columns. Key Learning: ✔️ Handling matrix-based transformations ✔️ Using extra space for clarity and simplicity ✔️ Breaking the problem into marking and updating phases If you’re also preparing for DSA, let’s connect and learn together 🤝 #DSA #Java #180DaysOfCode #LearningInPublic #Arrays #ProblemSolving #Consistency

🚀 Day 36 / 180 – DSA with Java 🚀 📘 Topic Covered: Binary Search (Peak Finding) 🧩 Problem Solved: Find Peak Element Problem: Given an array, find a peak element (an element greater than its neighbors) and return its index. Approach: Used Binary Search by comparing the middle element with its neighbors. Based on the increasing or decreasing slope, moved towards the side where a peak must exist, reducing the search space efficiently. Key Learning: ✔️ Applying binary search on unsorted arrays using patterns ✔️ Understanding how slope direction guides decisions ✔️ Solving peak problems in O(log n) time If you’re also preparing for DSA, let’s connect and learn together 🤝 #DSA #Java #180DaysOfCode #LearningInPublic #BinarySearch #ProblemSolving #Consistency

Day 63 of #100DaysOfLeetCode 💻✅ Solved #2085. Count Common Words With One Occurrence problem in Java. Approach: • Iterated through each word in the first array • Avoided duplicate checks by ensuring each word is processed only once • Counted occurrences of the current word in both arrays • If the word appears exactly once in both arrays, incremented the result • Returned the final count Performance: ✓ Runtime: 88 ms (Beats 7.45% submissions) ✓ Memory: 46.06 MB (Beats 93.07% submissions) Key Learning: ✓ Practiced handling duplicates and frequency counting ✓ Improved understanding of string comparison in arrays ✓ Learned importance of optimizing nested loop solutions Learning one problem every single day 🚀 #Java #LeetCode #DSA #Strings #Arrays #ProblemSolving #CodingJourney #100DaysOfCode

Day 44-What I Learned In a Day(JAVA) Today I revised pattern programming in Java to strengthen my core logic and understanding of loops. What I practiced: • Star patterns • Number patterns • Pyramid patterns • Inverted patterns • Nested loop logic Pattern programming helped me improve: • Loop control (for/while) • Logical thinking • Understanding of rows & columns Every pattern I solve makes my logic stronger step by step. Consistency is the key #Java #CodingJourney #PatternProgramming #Learning #StudentDeveloper

🚀 DSA in Java – Day 88 ✅ Today’s problem was all about finding the minimum distance between three equal elements in an array — and it really tested my ability to optimize brute force logic 💡 🔍 Approach I used: • Applied 3 nested loops to check all possible triplets • Optimized by skipping unnecessary comparisons using continue • Used break to stop early once a valid third element is found • Focused on minimizing (k - i) instead of full formula 💡 Key Insight: Instead of directly calculating the full distance, I realized that: 👉 Distance = 2 × (k - i) So minimizing (k - i) automatically gives the minimum distance 🚀 📈 What I learned today: • Even brute force can be improved with small optimizations • Early stopping (break) can reduce unnecessary iterations • Observing patterns in formulas helps simplify problems Some days are about solving fast, and some days are about thinking smarter — today was both 💯 Let’s keep growing consistently 💪 #DSAinJava #LeetCode #ProblemSolving #Java #CodingJourney #Consistency #100DaysOfCode

🚀 Day 38 / 180 – DSA with Java 🚀 📘 Topic Covered: Strings & Two-Pointer Technique 🧩 Problem Solved: Is Subsequence Problem: Given two strings s and t, check whether s is a subsequence of t. Approach: Used two pointers to traverse both strings. Moved the pointer in s only when characters matched, and always moved the pointer in t, ensuring order is maintained. Key Learning: ✔️ Applying two-pointer technique on strings ✔️ Understanding subsequence vs substring ✔️ Writing clean and efficient O(n) solutions If you’re also preparing for DSA, let’s connect and learn together 🤝 #DSA #Java #180DaysOfCode #LearningInPublic #Strings #ProblemSolving #Consistency
