🚀 Welcome to My LeetCode Journey! 🌌

Hello fellow coders! 👋 Welcome to my quirky and fun repository where I store all my solutions to LeetCode problems. Whether you're here to explore, learn, or just for a good laugh, you're in the right place! Let's dive into the magical world of coding challenges together. 🧙‍♂️✨

Setting Up the LeetCode Extension in VSCode

Before we start conquering challenges, let's set up our environment. I use Visual Studio Code (VSCode) with the LeetCode extension. It's like having a coding dojo right in your editor! 🥋💻 Here’s how you can set it up too:

1. Install Visual Studio Code: If you haven’t already, download VSCode.

2. Open VSCode Extensions: Click on the extensions icon in the sidebar or press Ctrl+Shift+X.

3. Search for "LeetCode": Find the LeetCode extension by shengchen. It’s the one with a cool little ninja icon! 🥷

4. Install the Extension: Just click 'Install'. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy!

5. Login to LeetCode: Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), type LeetCode Sign In, and enter your credentials. If you're a ninja in disguise, make sure to use your stealthy login skills. 🐱‍👤

Initializing Your Own LeetCode Repo in VSCode

Now, let's get your personal LeetCode repository started! Here's a step-by-step guide to make it as smooth as butter on a hot pancake. 🥞

1. Create a New Repo: If you haven't yet, create a new repository on GitHub. Give it a name that sparks joy!

2. Clone the Repo in VSCode: In VSCode, press Ctrl+Shift+P, type Git: Clone, and paste your repo's URL. Choose a comfortable spot on your computer for it to live.

3. Open Your Repo: After cloning, VSCode will ask if you want to open the repository. Go for it!

4. Add a Remote: If you've started locally, add a remote pointing to your GitHub repo. Open the terminal in VSCode (`Ctrl+```) and type:

   git remote add origin YOUR_REPO_URL
   

5. Start Adding Solutions: Now, whenever you solve a problem on LeetCode, add the solution to this repository. You can create a directory for each problem or organize it however you like – unleash your inner organizer! 📁✨

6. Commit and Push: After adding your solutions, don't forget to commit and push your changes. Let the world see your awesome work!

   git add .
   git commit -m "Add solution for problem XYZ"
   git push origin master
   

7. Rinse and Repeat: Keep solving, keep adding. Let this repo be a testament to your journey and growth!

Why Keep a LeetCode Repo?

• 📚 Learning: Review your progress and solutions over time.
• 🤝 Sharing: Help others learn from your solutions and approach.
• 👀 Visibility: Show your problem-solving skills to the world (or maybe future employers!).

Let's Connect!

If you find this repo helpful or if you have suggestions, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request. I'm always open to collaboration and learning from the community.

Happy coding, and may the code be ever in your favor! 🌟

Setting Up Debugging in TypeScript/JavaScript

Visual Studio Code

1. Install Node.js: Ensure Node.js is installed on your system. This provides the runtime for running JavaScript outside a browser and is essential for debugging TypeScript/JavaScript projects.

2. Configure launch.json:

   • In VSCode, navigate to the Debug view (Ctrl+Shift+D or Cmd+Shift+D on macOS).
   • Click on the "create a launch.json file" link and select the Node.js environment. This file tells VSCode how to launch and debug your application.

3. Install TypeScript and ts-node (for TypeScript projects):

   • Run npm install typescript ts-node --save-dev in your project directory. ts-node allows you to run TypeScript files directly in Node.js.

4. Debugging:

   • Set breakpoints in your code by clicking the left margin next to the line numbers in the editor.
   • Press F5 to start debugging. Use the debug controls to step through your code, inspect variables, and evaluate expressions.

Browser

For client-side JavaScript debugging:

• Use Developer Tools in your preferred browser (e.g., Chrome DevTools, Firefox Developer Tools).
• Open the DevTools (Ctrl+Shift+I or Cmd+Opt+I on macOS), go to the Sources tab, and set breakpoints directly in your JavaScript code.
• Refresh your page to hit the breakpoints and step through your code.

Setting Up Debugging in Python

Visual Studio Code

1. Install Python: Ensure Python is installed on your system and accessible from your terminal or command prompt.

2. Configure launch.json:

   • In VSCode, open your Python project.
   • Go to the Debug view and click on "create a launch.json file", then select the Python environment.
   • Adjust the program path to point to the script you want to debug.

3. Debugging:

   • Set breakpoints by clicking next to the line numbers.
   • Press F5 to start debugging. Use the debug controls to step over, into, or out of your code blocks.

Command Line

For a simpler setup or when working outside of VSCode, you can use pdb, the Python debugger:

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

• Insert the above line into your Python script at the point where you want to start debugging.
• Run your script. Execution will pause at pdb.set_trace(), and you can use pdb commands (n for next, c for continue, etc.) to debug.
