top 10 tips for problem-solving

solving the problem

1- Understand the problem

• Describe the problem for me on the paper so I can understand it

?

2- Explore concrete examples

• Understand the inputs and the outputs expected to out
• How to handle errors
• What happens when the user enters something invalid

?

3- Break it down

• break the problem into small parts and steps in the code place to solve the problem as steps to follow

?

4- solve the problem in a simple way

• Write the solution to the problem as simply as possible

Refactoring the solution

?

5- Check the results

• Make sure the output of your solution required one as output from your code

?

6- Refactor the code for a better version

• Go through the solution steps and check if we can write it in a better way
• Search if there is a helper function that can make the code run faster for time complexity

?

7- Reuse my code

• think if I can use some parts of my code as solutions for other problem

?

8- work on time and space complexity

• Work on making the code run faster than it exists
• Work on making the code not consume much memory space

?

9- Search on google to find other solutions to learn from them

10- Share your solution

• upload your solution on GitHub and share it with others
• ?explain it so you will learn as much as you teach
