DSA didn't click until I stopped trying to memorize solutions
Imagine this-
You're trying to learn how to drive a car. You open YouTube, start watching driving tutorials. Or maybe that's too unrealistic. A more relatable version - You watch someone do it in front of you. You go like - "Haan Haan I get it. I'll do it now".
But the moment you sit in the driver's seat - the car stops, jerks, stalls. You panic! Where's the clutch, where's the brake? It's all so confusing.
That's exactly what was happening with me. Watched YouTube videos or my professor solving questions. Copied them and felt like now i know it all. But when it came to solve questions on my own - failed miserably!
It all changed when i got myself to solve more and watch less. I failed, but now i had a clearer idea of what worked, what mistakes i could learn from. Then when i watched the videos, it all made more sense.
So whether it's DSA or driving - You only learn when you take the wheel!!
