Special thanks to Love Babbar, Aditya Verma, Striver, Pepcoding and Nishant Chahar.
Starting with:
This is what worked for me, for you it might be different. I have shared my routine, resources that I used to follow, YouTubers who helped me a lot during my journey. The way I used to make notes and submit codes on leet code helped me a lot. I am thankful to all those who helped me during this journey and this is a shoutout video for all of them.
- Learn Data Structures and Algorithms

Graphs:
Striver Bhaiya’s playlist is more than enough. Make notes. Code and submit on GFG or Leetcode.
