Problem solving/ Algorithm Skill is a knack or can be developed with practice?
- by KaluSingh Gabbar
Every time I start a hard problem and if can not figure out the exact solution or can not get started, I get into this never ending discussion with myself, as below:
That problem
solving/mathematics/algorithms skills
are gifted (not that you can learn
by practicing, by practice, you only
master the kind of problems that you
already have solved before)
only those who went to good schools can do it, as they learned it early.
What are your thoughts, can one achieve awesomeness in problem solving/algorithms just by hard work or you need to have that extra-gene in you?
