r/LeetcodeChallenge

I just checked 4026. and it's just wall of text with simple solution masked as a medium problem. How do experienced CPers see through such BS so fast? Should I grind math problems for this superpower?

also, is it even possible to get such problem on an interview? because i would have to ask for re-explanation 500 times

Suggest something so that i can be good at leetcode?

same as title , we can start discussing what we did and any guidance coming from fellow seniors would be appreciated

how to get from leetcode company wise questions list for free... I heard from alumnus that his colleague got job offer by practicing those company's leetcode problems before the interview and they actually matched itseems!! So please share!!

Submitted today's LeetCode Challenge i.e. 678. Valid Parenthesis String and it got accepted. However, I felt the need to ask the internet to judge my code and help me improve it further. I used two stacks for this one :)

Here's the code:

q = []
star_q = []
i = 0

for char in s:
    if char == ')':
        if q:
            q.pop()
        elif star_q:
            star_q.pop()
        else:
            return False
    else:
        if char == '*':
            star_q.append((char, i))
        else:
            q.append((char, i))

    i += 1

while star_q and q:
    if star_q[-1][1] > q[-1][1]:
        q.pop()

    star_q.pop()

return not q
