🚀 Today I Solved… A classic problem: Count pairs with sum < target using the two-pointer technique ⚡ 💡 Key idea: Sort the array Use left and right pointers If arr[left] + arr[right] < target 👉 Add right - left in one go (counts multiple pairs instantly!) 🔥 This simple trick reduces complexity from O(n²) ➝ O(n log n) Small optimization, big impact — that’s the power of patterns in DSA! #DSA #Coding #Python #ProblemSolving #InterviewPrep

Day 102 Backtracking patterns are starting to repeat. #Day102 🧩 90. Subsets II How today went: • Similar to the basic Subsets problem • Key difference: handling duplicates • Sorting the array is important • While iterating, skip duplicates to avoid repeating subsets What clicked: Backtracking becomes easier when you: • Recognize the base pattern • Add constraints like duplicate handling Same structure, new rule. That’s how patterns build. #LeetCode #DSA #Python #Backtracking #Recursion #LearningInPublic #Consistency

🔁 Exploring Sorting Algorithms in Python Today I practiced two fundamental sorting techniques: ✅ Bubble Sort ✅ Selection Sort 💡 Key Learnings: * Bubble Sort repeatedly swaps adjacent elements to push larger elements to the end * Selection Sort selects the minimum element and places it in the correct position * Understanding time complexity becomes clearer when you count operations manually #Python #DataStructures #Algorithms #CodingJourney #100DaysOfCode #LearningInPublic

Day 103/200 – LeetCode Challenge. Today’s problem: Subsets II Given an integer array that may contain duplicates, return all possible subsets without duplicate subsets. Handling duplicates is the tricky part. Sort input → groups duplicates together. Use backtracking to explore all subsets. Optimized and clean solution using recursion. How to handle duplicates in subset problems. Importance of sorting in backtracking. Writing efficient recursive solutions. #LeetCode #Python #CodingJourney #Backtracking #200DaysOfCode

🚀 Day 11 of #500DaysOfCoding Today’s problem: Maximum Average Subarray I I used the sliding window technique to solve this problem and reduced the time complexity to O(n). 💡 Key Takeaways: - Precompute the sum of the first window - Slide the window by adding the next element and removing the previous one - Track the maximum sum → compute the maximum average. On to Day 12 🔥 #CodingJourney #DataStructures #Algorithms #Python #ProblemSolving

Day 109 Backtracking patterns are repeating again — and that’s a good sign. #Day109 🧩 78. Subsets How today went: • Used recursion to explore all elements • At each step, decide to include or skip the current element • Append current subset → explore → then pop to backtrack • Move to the next index and repeat What I’m noticing: Subsets is one of the cleanest backtracking patterns: → choose → explore → undo Another revision day, but clarity is improving. Consistency continues. #LeetCode #DSA #Python #Backtracking #Recursion #LearningInPublic #Consistency

💡 Solved Group Anagrams today! 🧠 Key idea: Instead of comparing strings, I used a frequency array (size 26) to create a unique key for each word. ⚠️ Catch in constraints: All characters are lowercase English letters, which allows us to use a fixed-size array of 26 for efficient hashing. 🚀 Result: Achieved O(n · k) time complexity. Great example of converting a comparison problem into a hashing problem! #LeetCode #DSA #Algorithms #Python #CodingInterview
