## Tips for Success

1. **Consistency**: Dedicate at least 2-3 hours daily to coding.

2. **Platforms**: Use LeetCode, GeeksforGeeks, and HackerRank.

3. **Resources**:

- For concepts: "DSA Made Easy by Narasimha Karumanchi" or freeCodeCamp tutorials.

- For Java syntax: Refer to the Oracle Java Documentation.

4. **Track Progress**: Maintain a log of problems solved and topics covered.
