Leetcode 28 weekly Contest webpage

Julia spent 90 minutes to play contest of Leetcode weekly contest 28. She was too busy to read the problem statement and then she never felt that 90 minutes can fly that fast. She just could not believe that she is doing better than week contest 27.

Here is the picture to show some result.


Actionable Items


Try to figure out how to make sense those problem statement on Leetcode, too much wording but Julia could not understand the last 2 algorithm.

Study the leaderboard.

Strategy talk


In the contest 90 minutes, Julia took turns to read last 3 algorithm and could not understand any of them, she did more than 3 rounds, and then she decided to give it a try second algorithm. She understood the math very well and just could not believe that it is a medium algorithm, it is so straightforward, she thought about a lot of ideas at the first.

She was training herself to read problem statement, do not give up, keep reading and thinking, round robin fashion on those 3 algorithms.

Statistics of the contest 


Score is 9, Julia solved first two algorithm in first 80 minutes. Rank is 393/ 1848, score 9's range is  from ranking 170 to 393.
