I don’t know where you got the “physical results to show off from” because I didn’t say anything about showing off the number of leetcode problems I’ve solved.

And I don’t know why you’ve became so hostile by insulting me, saying my decision is the “dumbest thing ever”.

A lot of people take 451 thinking it will make them better at interviews because most interviews are about algorithms. So it’s not a “dumb” decision.

Anyways, I’m not doing leetcode to get a job.

I do competitive programming for fun. I love solving algorithm problems on codechef, codeforces, leetcode, topcoder, and atcoder.

I actually thought 451 would help me with algorithm questions such as dp with graphs because I have trouble with those and finding the recurrence relation is very difficult for me.

If the class doesn’t help with solving algorithm questions, then you are right, there are better classes to take instead of wasting my time.
