DSA Pattern Learning Mastery
Hey I have a problems of learn a concept too much time just looking the txt and reading how
imporove my reading skill and set my brain to just undrstand the concept clearly and remember
it and not feel guilty because of not knowing it
Alright listen up, Siva. You want to become elite, right? A killer in DSA, a machine in interviews, someone
who doesn’t break down in front of a problem? Then cut the damn guilt, stop the self-pity, and fix the
damn process. Here's a brutal, no-fluff, step-by-step guide to sharpen your brain, learn faster, and
remember shit like a beast:
🔪 STEP 1: STOP PASSIVE READING
You’re probably just staring at text and expecting your brain to understand. That’s lazy. That’s weak.
You’re not a PDF reader.
🔥 Instead: Use Active Recall & Interrogation
After 5–10 mins of reading, close the damn book or tab.
Ask:
"What the f*** did I just learn?"
"Can I explain this to my future self like a teacher?"
If you can’t? Read again with intention, not like a zombie.
🧠 STEP 2: VISUALIZE OR CODE IT
Your brain is built for sight and doing, not for walls of text.
Draw the damn process on paper.
Make small notes with arrows, boxes, flowcharts.
If it’s a DSA concept, implement it with custom inputs, dry run it.
Not just copy-paste solutions like a script kiddie.
🗣️ STEP 3: TEACH THE WALL
Yes. Teach. Even if it’s to your dog, a water bottle, or the wall.
Say it out loud. Walk around your room like a lunatic.
It will burn that concept into your head.

⏳ STEP 4: SPACED REPETITION
You forget not because you're dumb — but because your brain needs repetition.
Review:
After 1 day
After 3 days
After 7 days
After 15 days
Use tools like Anki, or make a revision tracker (pen-paper is fine too).
⚔️ STEP 5: KILL THE GUILT
Feeling guilty wastes energy. You’re not supposed to know it all on first try, dumbass.
Guilt = emotional weakness
Awareness + Action = Growth
So stop crying "Why can’t I understand?" and start saying:
“Alright mf, I don’t get this YET. But I will, because I’ll attack it from 3 angles.”
✍️ STEP 6: NOTE ONLY WHAT YOU CAN’T REMEMBER
Don’t write down everything like a damn court stenographer.
Only write stuff that:
You forget
You mess up repeatedly
You want a visual anchor for
Keep it concise, messy, yours.
🛠️ DAILY EXECUTION PLAN
Time Action
⏰ Morning 30 mins deep read 1 concept, write 3 questions from it
🧪 Noon Dry run/code that concept
🎙️ Evening Explain it out loud / revise old concepts
🧠 Night Flashback: What did I truly understand today?

💣 BONUS: STOP WORRYING ABOUT LOOKING STUPID
You learn slower when you fear looking dumb. You’re not here to look smart, you’re here to become
deadly smart.
🧨 Brutal Truth Reminder:
"A weak man reads something 5 times and still forgets. A strong man reads it twice, writes
once, explains once, and remembers for life."
So be the strong man, Siva.
Attack your learning with rage, clarity, and patience. You will get better. Now go do the f***ing work.
Want me to keep you accountable? I’ll check your progress every day if needed. Just say the word.
I need a proer resource which can tach most of the dsa and problems solvibg
Alright Siva — you want a no-bullshit, high-impact DSA + Problem Solving resource that covers
concepts, patterns, problems, and intuition.
Here’s the real-deal list of resources (FREE + PAID), depending on how serious you are. No fluff. No
distractions. Only weapons to build your mental arsenal.
🔥 1. 📚 Core DSA + Patterns (FREE - YouTube)
If you want zero distraction and clear explanation + coding + patterns, this combo crushes
it.
🔹 Aditya Verma Playlist (YouTube)

Explains like he’s coding for war.
🔹 Take U Forward (Striver)
🔥 Covers: Arrays → Two Pointers → Sliding Window → Recursion → Trees → Graphs → DP
Problem-first, pattern-first, not just concept vomiting.
💻 2. 🚀 Platform for Practice + Topic-wise Roadmaps
🔹 LeetCode (TOP RECOMMENDED)
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 3/12
Use Striver’s DSA Sheet to grind smartly:

Filter by topics + difficulty.
🔹 CodeStudio by Coding Ninjas (Structured Path)
Has guided paths for DSA with theory + curated problems.
🔐 3. 🧠 Premium (Paid, but 100% Worth)
✅ Instabyte.io – DSA Master Course (You Already Use)
Follow it only 45 mins/day, but combine it with daily problem solving.
For each topic, after the lecture: solve 5-8 problems on Leetcode or CodeStudio.
Track weak spots, then review next day.
✅ Coding Blocks / Scaler Academy
Only if you want live structure + mentorship. But since you’re self-driven, Instabyte + YouTube +
Leetcode is enough.

Let’s go, machine.
Alright, looks like you're throwing + - * 10 8 x at me — let’s break that down like a pro:
Are you trying to:
1. Understand prefix notation (Polish Notation)?
2. Evaluate the expression + - * 10 8 x?
Let me assume you mean this expression is in prefix format:
diff
+ - * 10 8 x
That means:
diff
+ ( - ( * 10 8 ) x )
Now step by step:
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 11/12
1. Evaluate * 10 8
→ 10 × 8 = 80
2. Evaluate - 80 x
→ 80 - x = (80 - x)
3. Evaluate + (80 - x)
→ Final expression = (80 - x)
That’s it.
🔥 Final Answer:
If the prefix expression is:
diff
+ - * 10 8 x
Then the simplified form = (80 - x)
Let me know if:
You want this as a code (Java/Python)?
You're learning prefix/postfix conversion and evaluation?
Or you're just testing if I'm awake 😈
Either way, I’m ready. Let’s go.
