  • Identify hidden requirements, constraints, and edge cases within technical prompts.
  • Break down multi-part coding problems into manageable, logical steps.
  • Recognize and interpret unfamiliar terminology and technical jargon.
  • Apply a repeatable method for reading, analyzing, and decoding problem statements.
  • Develop confidence in understanding vague or tricky interview questions.
  • Avoid common misunderstandings that lead to incorrect implementations.
  • Practice analyzing real-world problem statements from coding platforms and interviews.
  • Understand how problem wording impacts the algorithm or approach needed.
  • Build better problem-solving habits before writing any code.


Pre Requisites

  1. Basic understanding of variables, loops, and conditionals in any programming language.
  2. Familiarity with arrays or lists and how to iterate over them.
  3. Some experience writing simple functions or methods.
  4. Ability to read and follow basic programming logic (e.g., if-statements, for-loops).
  5. Willingness to slow down and focus on understanding problems before coding.
  6. Comfort with reading beginner to intermediate-level code challenges.
  7. No need to be a computer science major — just logical thinking and curiosity.
  8. Some exposure to online coding platforms (like LeetCode, HackerRank, etc.) is helpful.
  9. An open mindset and a desire to improve problem-solving clarity.


FAQ

  • Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
    • A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
  • Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
    • A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
