Julia's coding blog - Practice makes perfect

From January 2015, she started to practice leetcode questions; she trains herself to stay focus, develops "muscle" memory when she practices those questions one by one. 2015年初, Julia开始参与做Leetcode, 开通自己第一个博客. 刷Leet code的题目, 她看了很多的代码, 每个人那学一点, 也开通Github, 发表自己的代码, 尝试写自己的一些体会. She learns from her favorite sports – tennis, 10,000 serves practice builds up good memory for a great serve. Just keep going. Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.

Hackerrank: Women's CodeSprint 4

Oct. 24, 2017

Introduction

It is the time to play another codesprint this Friday. I thought about yesterday and decided to join until this Thursday, because I need to discipline myself to work on the contest. It is not an easy task because of the busy schedule.

Here is my last two contests on Hackerrank.

I documented the university codesprint 3 contest here. I just could not believe that after the contest, I wrote the blog to celebrate my piece of puzzle to solve NIM game. It is just another contest, and not so good performance. Surprisingly, I got some feedback through a phone call, unbelievable story in the city of Vancouver.

CodeSprint strategies

I spent extra 20 minutes to look up bible verse for my contest. Here is bible version Proverb 13:4 for my woman codesprint 4.

Statistics

The blog was written from 6:00 am to 6:20 am, Oct. 24, 2017. I just came back from China and went back to work starting from Oct. 23, 2017.
