By Sam_1812, history, 19 months ago, In English

Hi Guys I am able to solve currently 1100 rated problems I have been following a sheet but when i started solving 1200 I saw that many of them belongs to greedy and binary search and some dp category. Until now I have not gone through the topics though i have an overview of them . So what should I do ?? Should I just go on solving or go and learn learn these topics and solve a lot of problems on them then continue with the rating problems like 1200 and them 1300 and so?? Please help Guys.

Greedy is very simple, so that shouldn't be too difficult. For the other topics, you can learn them, but most of the time, these problems can be solved in a much simpler way. Just because a problem has the tags "DP" or "Binary Search" does not mean it cannot be solved any other way. When you are solving problems, do not look at the tags unless you have no idea how to solve them (you should be thinking about the problems for at least 30 minutes). Until at lest like 1300 (maybe 1400), you do not need to learn the advanced topics. Simple binary search and dp can help, though.

Greedy,Strings,Binary search,Two pointer,Math and hard work is enough in my opinion.
