I have noticed that my followers and reading stats have been increasing rapidly since I started writing leetcode posts.

I really appreciate the support and the interests from you guys!

As a current senior software engineer without a degree in computer science, I have spent a lot of time learning and studying in software engineering by myself. I think my learning experience might be helpful to those who want to start their career in software engineering as well.

In this post, I am going to share why I am doing this, and how to learn to solve leetcode problems.

Why I am doing this — sharing my thinking processes

Although I do not have a degree in computer science, but personally, I think I am very good at leetcode and logical thinking. I have won a lot of math competitions since primary school, I think that built up my foundation in problem-solving skills. And I always believe, leetcode problems are not that difficult, as long as we learn the methodologies to approach the problems.

This is why I am sharing my thinking processes in my posts. Compared with solving one problem, learning to quickly figure out how to approach the problem is more important.

I hope, by sharing out my thinking processes, and the ways I approach the problems, you guys can learn or get hinted on how to leetcode by yourself as well.
