#976: Largest Perimeter Triangle✅

Tagged "Easy" but brute force fails here!

Strategy:
Sort array
Traverse from end
Check: a+b>c (triangle rule)
First valid = max perimeter
if none is valid then return 0

TC: O(n log n)

#69 Sqrt(x) 💀

Was solving this and got stuck on overflow using mid*mid < x instead of mid < (x/mid)

Scrolled through comments for help and what I found made me laugh so hard 😭

2833. Furthest Point From Origin! ✅
Key insight: treat each '_' as L or R, simulate both extremes, and take max absolute distance. This gives the furthest reachable point. Clean, smart, and efficient!

LeetCode Rewind dropped before GTA 6 lmao 😭 Balanced 287 submissions with college chaos—assignments, exams, sleepless nights. Not perfect but we kept going. 2026 gonna be our year 🚀

1816. Truncate Sentence! ✅

My approach: iterate through the string, count spaces until we hit k, then return substr(0, idx) at that position.

Simple logic: k words = k-1 spaces 🧠

TC: O(n) | SC: O(1)

You type a character.
Counter updates.
Preview updates.
State updates.

That instant feedback?

That’s what people call two-way binding in React 🎯

UI changes → state updates
State changes → UI re-renders

Simple. Predictable. Powerful.

Just solved #LeetCode 2558 - "Take Gifts From the Richest Pile"! 🎯

Use a max heap to repeatedly pick the largest pile and reduce it to the floor(sqrt).
O(n + k log n) time, O(n) space.
Simple but effective!

✅ LeetCode 404: Sum of Left Leaves

The trick? Distinguishing leaves from internal nodes:
- Leaf: !left && !right ❌🍃
- Internal: left && right ✅🌿

Pass a flag during recursion to track left children. Got 100% runtime! 🚀

I accidentally ran git init in my HOME directory
VS Code kept warning "too many git commits" – ignored it for months.
Finally checked: 50,000+ commits in ~ 😂
Removed the .git folder & peace restored
Pro tip: NEVER git init in $HOME #git #programming #webdev #developers

Unpopular opinion: React is NOT a framework. 🛑
It’s a library. The distinction matters.
Frameworks force architecture. React just gives you the LEGO bricks; you still have to build the house yourself (routing, state, styling).
Freedom = Responsibility. ⚛️

Many people ignore constraints in DSA problems, but they are very important.

Constraints give a clear idea of the time complexity you should think about.
If operations are within ~10⁸, you already know which approach can work.

Just updated my GitHub profile page.
Added a proper first page to it.

Built a pixel-perfect clone of the Sheryians Coding School Cohort 2.0 landing page in 2 days. Learned flexbox, media queries, CSS variables, custom fonts, and responsive layouts. Fully responsive and added to my portfolio. Thanks

Hi guys, I’m Rajiv.

I’ve been learning software development for some time.

From now on, I’ll start posting here and try to be regular.
I’ll share what I learn while building projects.
