Step 1: Choose a

Programming Language

The top choices are:

📌C++:
📌Java:
📌Python:

Once you've selected a language, focus on


mastering its syntax, libraries, and built-in data
structures.

Resources:

📌GeeksforGeeks (Language Tutorials)


📌CodeWithHarry (Python & Java for Beginners)
📌C++ STL Tutorials
Step 2:- Understand Time &
Space Complexity

Start with the basics:

📌constant time O(1)


📌logarithmic time O(log n)
📌linear time O(n)
📌quadratic time O(n²).

Resources:

Complexity)
Step 3: Learn Key Data
Structures & Algorithms

Data Structures to Learn:


Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, Trees, Graphs,
Heaps, Hashing

Algorithms to Master:
📌Sorting (Bubble, Merge, Quick, Heap).
📌Searching (Binary Search).
📌Dynamic Programming (Fibonacci, Knapsack).
📌Greedy Algorithms (Activity Selection, Huffman
Coding).
📌Backtracking (N-Queens, Sudoku Solver).
Resources:
📌LeetCode (Explore Algorithms Section)
📌Neetcode's Data Structure & Algorithm
📌HackerRank (Algorithms Practice)
📌GeeksforGeeks (Data Structures)
Step 4: Practice on
Competitive Coding Platforms

Coding Platforms:
📌LeetCode:
📌HackerRank:
Begin with solving easy problems, progress
to medium, and finally hard.

Aim to solve problems daily to build


consistency.

Resources:
📌LeetCode
📌HackerRank
📌Codeforces
📌GeeksforGeeks (Practice Problems)
Step 5: Revision & Mock
Interviews

Revision:
Keep track of the problems you've solved and
revisit them periodically.

Mock Interviews:
This will help you experience the time pressure and
problem-solving environment similar to actual
interviews.

Resources:
📌InterviewBit (Mock Interviews & Problem
Solving)
📌Pramp (Free Mock Interviews)
📌LeetCode (Company-Specific Interview
Questions)
