Getting Started 🚀

Welcome to the DSA-30 challenge! You’re about to embark on a journey that will transform your coding skills from “I think I know array” to “I can optimize that graph traversal in my sleep”.

How to use this guide

This isn’t your typical textbook. We focus on patterns, visuals, and intuitive understanding.

1. Don’t Rush: Each day is designed to be digested fully. Don’t skip ahead until you truly get the concept.
2. Code Along: Reading is silver, coding is gold. Open your IDE and type out the examples.
3. Visualize It: Use the GIFs and diagrams. If you can draw it, you can code it.

Prerequisites

You don’t need to be a wizard, but you should know:

• Basic programming syntax (Java is used here, but the logic is universal).
• How to run a “Hello World” program.
• A willingness to debug (because bugs will happen).

Your Toolkit

• IDE: VS Code, IntelliJ, or even Notepad if you’re feeling dangerous.
• Coffee/Tea: Essential fuel for debugging sessions.
• Persistence: The only algorithm that guarantees success.
