That also helped me clear all Hackerrank Challenges in 3 weeks

Motivation😎

Doing coding challenges is probably the best way to learn the practical side of programming languages quickly. Compared to doing actual projects, it has a sharp focus on improving your problem-solving skills leveraging specific language concepts and syntax. It’s depth(projects) vs. breadth(coding challenges).

You will benefit more from doing it when you also read other people's solutions and comments. You'll find different ways of thinking, different language tricks utilized to solve the same problem and master those quickly with multiple practices. I think everyone who wants to use a specific programming language as their primary development tool should at least clear all coding challenges on Hackerrank once.

I struggled reading other people's code in Python before, but I didn't have that issue after I cleared challenges on HackerRank in Python.

In this article, I'll record what I have learned along the way, and hopefully, it could help make your journey smoother. Let's get started!
