last minute commit

this is a repo meant to just publically post and back up my leet code answers.

there is no promise for quality or anything specific like that, just for fun and the learning experiance

---

this is partly done by the extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/leetcode-torture/

mainly to motivate me to do more learning lol

all files should be sorted via file extension.

at the time of writing, these file extensions include:

• cpp (c++)
• cs (c#)
• go (go lang)
• js (javascript)
• ts (typescript)
• rs (rust)
• sql (structured query language)

---

the reason for each one of these languages is:

note the below is my preferences/opinions on said languages

- C++:

is a great language which is still used, though has some rather rough edges that are rather toothy

- C#:

for people who think windows is the best os, or unity

- Go:

is a great language that i consider to be "python++", a language with the ease of python, but with much more preformance and a lot less annoying quirks

- JS:

is a nice scripting language. it's toothy and hard to use for anything longterm/critical; but is great for quick simple things and obviously anything web related

- TS:

if a problem is complex/multi step, i like using typescript as an assistant. outside that i think js is probably better overall for basic tools and you should probably just be good at enforcing types tbh-

- Rust:

a modern low level language which is a bit rough around the edges. has some issues but overall is much safer and more predictable then cpp.

- SQL:

the defacto db standard, maybe not the best but rather solid

languages that leetcode supports that i haven't touched yet:

and some reasoning for why for fun

- Python

i'm sure it's great, but as far as i'm aware outside working on legacy systems i'm not really interested in python as the performance isn't great, and the only benefit i know of it is it's "easy to write" outside of the libs.

- Python3

above +
i'm sure i'll touch it at some point when i want to brush up before using a big python lib

- Java

i don't want to mod minecraft or work in legacy codebases

- C

i technically already do because i do cpp, which is a super-set of c but bluhbluhbluh you get the idea

- PHP

php is fun, though if i'm building a website i would prefer js/react as i prefer writing it. i've learned php before and know the basics, seems fun, but for me feels like it competes with js and i would prefer to stick to the path moreso tread with web stuff

- Swift

seems kewl, sounds fun, but i'm not making programs for apple devices, so for now i'd rather probably learn a more funcitonal lang like oCaml over swift rn

- Kotlin

i (thank god) don't need to work in legacy java systems, and don't see any immediate uses for it in my life at the moment so. if i ever had a use for it i would totally reach for it, but i don't really need it so i don't want to get into weeds i don't need too

- Dart

i've never heard anyone talk about any amazing reason to use this, so i won't lol

- Ruby

sounds like a java esc lang from what i heard at a glance, but i don't really know of a reason to learn it outside rails so i don't really have any interest

- Scala

same thing as kotlin. seems neat but eh

- Racket

never heard of it before seeing it in leetcode. i have no reason that i can think of to learn this

- Erlang

from what i heard is an amazing lang for large scaling, i would prefer to learn elixir first, but after i did that i would love to swing back to erlang to get a better understanding of the "top down"

- Elixir

sounds great, probably my next "free choice" language to learn. Heard basically nothing but good things
