[DAY 27-29] I Tried LeetCode Challenges For The First Time
Hey, I'm Thomas, a civil engineer that just discovered coding.
On this blog, I document my learning journey until I become a full-stack developer.
If you love documenting progress and coding, consider following! See you in the next blog!
Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog where I document the things I learned in web development. I do this because it helps retain the information and concepts as it is some sort of an active recall.
On days 27-29, I built a roman numeral converter and also tried answering 3 LeetCode challenges which are:
Plus One Number Array
Palindrome Checker
Roman Numeral to Integer
Because of these projects, I was able to complete part 2 of the certification project of the data structures & algorithms in freecodecamp and test my current knowledge in coding if I can answer easy-rated challenges in LeetCode.
At first, I thought answering the challenges was going to be easy, I was wrong. Despite its difficulty being rated as “EASY”, it took me a while to come up with a solution and put it into code. However, being able to finish the challenges gave me experience, confidence, and solidified my current knowledge in coding. Due to this, starting from now on, I am now going to answer 1 leetcode challenge per day to further improve my skills. The rewards of finishing the challenges are worth the effort.
Furthermore, building a roman numeral converter to complete part 2 of the certification project of the data structures & algorithms course is an opportunity to use my current knowledge in HTML, CSS, & Javascript. I was able to build a program that converts an integer to a roman numeral. As a result, I was able to enhance my current skills due to having the chance of applying it in a project and therefore, it consolidated my coding knowledge.
Anyways, that’s all for now, thank you for reading. I’ll see you all next blog!
