LeetCode Solutions: A Record of My Problem Solving Journey.

This repository will be divided into four parts for now:

- The first part is the solutions to some classic problems on LeetCode, including the idea thinkings, key points and code implementations.

- The second part is the summary of data structures and algorithms.

- The third part is [Anki flashcards](https://apps.ankiweb.net) that record the LeetCode problems in a certain way so as to make it easier to remember.

- The fourth part is future plans on content that would be introduced into the above parts.

> Only when having mastered the basic data structures and algorithms can you solve complex problems easily.



## Usage Instructions

- For the parts that were added recently, there will be a 🆕 behind.
- For the parts that were updated recently, there will be a 🖊 behind.
- Here will be the place to update Anki Flashcards in the future as well.
- Here is a mind mapping graph showing the summary of categorizations of problems that are questioned frequently in interviews. We could analyze according to the information in the graph.

### Anki Flashcards

Anki falshcards would be mainly two parts: the mappings from key points to problems; the mappings from problems to idea thinks, key points and code implementations.

All flashcards are put in [anki-card](./assets/anki/leetcode.apkg).

> Please check [here](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) for more about the usage of Anki.

Latest updated flashcards (only lists the front page):

- What is the key point of the binary search algorithm? Related problems?
- How to simplify the operations using the features of stacks? Related problems?
- The thinkings and related problems of double-pointers problems?
- The thinkings and related problems of sliding window problems?
- The thinkings and related problems of backtracking?
- The thinkings and related problems of number theory?
- The thinkings and related problems of bit operations?

> WIP: the translation of the flashcards are on the way.

> problems added：#2 #3 #11



### Future Plans

- [Complete Anki Flashcards](./assets/anki/)

- [Collection of String Problem](./todo/str/)



## Community Chat Groups

We're still on the early stage, so feedback from community is very welcome. For sake of reducing the costs of communication, I created some chat groups.
