Coding Problem-Solving Study Plan

Week 1: Foundation Techniques

1. Brute Force

- Concept: Test all possible solutions and pick the correct one.

- Problems:

- Generate all subsets of a set.

- Find all permutations of a string.

2. Recursion

- Concept: Solve a problem by breaking it into smaller instances of itself.

- Key Skills: Base case, recursive case.

- Problems:

- Factorial of a number.

- Fibonacci sequence.

- Binary search (recursive version).

Key Goals: Recognize brute-force problems and recursive structures.

Week 2: Divide and Conquer

- Concept: Break -> Solve -> Combine.

- Problems:

- Merge Sort.

- Quick Sort.

- Binary Search.
Practice Tasks: Solve problems involving Divide and Conquer on Leetcode/Codeforces.

Week 3: Greedy & Two Pointers

1. Greedy Algorithms

- Make optimal choices step-by-step.

- Problems:

- Activity Selection.

- Fractional Knapsack.

2. Two Pointers Technique

- Efficient linear optimization.

- Problems:

- Pair with Given Sum.

- Removing duplicates in a sorted array.

Week 4: Dynamic Programming (DP)

- Concept: Overlapping subproblems.

- Steps:

- Top-Down (Memoization)

- Bottom-Up (Tabulation)

- Problems:

- Fibonacci Number (DP).

- Coin Change.

- Longest Common Subsequence.

Key Insight: Combine recursion + memoization for optimization.


Week 5: Backtracking & Graphs

1. Backtracking

- Problems:

- N-Queens.

- Sudoku Solver.

2. Graph Techniques

- BFS and DFS.

- Shortest Path Algorithms.

Week 6: Advanced Techniques

- Sliding Window (Longest Subarray problems).

- Bit Manipulation (Check powers of two).

Ongoing Practice Plan:

- Solve 3 problems/week on:

- Leetcode

- Codeforces

- GeeksforGeeks.

- Identify patterns, analyze time/space complexities, and revise weekly.
