More FAQs in How Do I Know If I Am Making Progress in DSA?
Not necessarily. Solving problems independently with a strong understanding is more valuable than solving a large number of problems using hints or solutions.
Track how often you need hints, how quickly you recognize patterns, and whether you can solve problems that previously felt difficult.
Yes. Getting stuck is part of the learning process. As long as you're improving your problem-solving skills and tackling harder problems over time, you're making progress.
