HackerRank Python Journey

From 1 Star to 4 Stars

This repository documents my journey on HackerRank from achieving a 1-star rating to reaching a 4-star rating in the Python programming language. The goal is to improve my problem-solving skills, learn new concepts, and gain proficiency in Python through practice and challenges offered by HackerRank.

Progression

Here's a breakdown of my journey, including the topics and concepts covered at each star level:

1 Star

• Basic input/output operations
• Conditional statements and loops
• String manipulation and operations
• List manipulation and operations
• Simple mathematical calculations

2 Stars

• Advanced string manipulation and regular expressions
• Advanced list operations and comprehensions
• Dictionary and set manipulation
• File handling and I/O operations
• Exception handling and error management

3 Stars

• Advanced data structures (e.g., stacks, queues, heaps)
• Sorting and searching algorithms
• Recursion and backtracking
• Graph algorithms (e.g., BFS, DFS)
• Dynamic programming

4 Stars

• Advanced topics and algorithms (e.g., greedy algorithms, divide and conquer)
• Efficient algorithms and data structures
• Optimization techniques
• Complex problem-solving
• Challenges and competitions

Getting Started

If you're starting your own HackerRank journey, here are some steps to follow:

1. Create a HackerRank account at https://www.hackerrank.com
2. Choose the Python language track
3. Start solving problems from the "Easy" difficulty level and gradually progress to higher difficulty levels
4. Analyze the problem statements, design efficient algorithms, and implement solutions in Python
5. Test your solutions with HackerRank's provided test cases and verify correctness
6. Optimize your code for better time and space complexity
7. Learn from the editorial solutions and discuss problem-solving strategies with the community
