Is straitéis iontaofa é tuigbheáil, pleanáil, ansin códú — ná léim go díreach chuig clóscríobh riamh. Tugann cur chuige struchtúrtha deis do chásanna theorannach a tharlú go luath agus a chur in iúl do do smaoineamh go soiléir.
Creatlach céim-ar-chéim
1. CLARIFY -> restate the problem, ask about inputs, ranges, edge cases
2. EXAMPLES -> work a small example by hand; note edge cases (empty, 1, dups)
3. BRUTE FORCE -> state the obvious solution and its complexity
4. OPTIMIZE -> spot the bottleneck; pick a pattern (hash, two-pointer, DP...)
5. CODE -> write clean, modular code while talking through it
6. TEST -> trace examples, check edges, fix bugs
7. ANALYZE -> state final time and space complexity
