My journey in doing hands on algorithm so far
I have stumbled upon educative.io, a good website in which hands on coding is done on algorithms. I have been coding algorithm codes on it and checking it out, to sharpen my brain any my rusty coding skills. This is what I have been up-to so far.
Play mode
All of the structure content is in full play mode and it actually involves the user aka me here to engage and play before even attempting to understand the algorithm. I genuinely am having fun solving the the puzzles, trying out new ways to solve the puzzles before going to the optimized solution or reaching the algorithm itself.
Code mode
I enjoy the fact that there is an online compiler for Java, C++, Js and Python where I can write the code and check how it works and keep on trying with new different methods. Here is a picture for the same
I enjoy writing code in different languages and running it to see the result. It is definitely fun and it is definitely challenging.
Bites of code
It is not an entire project that I need to code per se. It is bite sized that I code and then go to the next step. It keeps me engaged and I do not get overwhelmed. I get to see the big picture after all the bites of code are completed in total.
So, currently, I am on this journey of doing algorithm coding. It is fun and it is challenging and it is helping me get back my rusty brain to code back again.
