A Note on Decoded and Patterns

While learning programming, solutions are sometimes memorized instead of understanding the logic behind them. To make learning a bit clearer, I built two small apps: Decoded — to understand how DSA problems are solved Patterns — to understand how pattern problems work Both focus on explaining the approach, rather than just showing code. Decoded Decoded helps learners understand commonly asked DSA problems visually. Instead of only showing code, the platform explains how the algorithm works step by step. Some of the things it includes: Animated dry run of the algorithm with user input Time and space complexity explanations Follow-up questions to explore the problem more deeply Explanations of data structures, their operations, and complexities Common problem patterns like two pointers, sliding window, etc. Tips on how to recognize patterns and avoid common mistakes The goal is to help learners understand what the problem is asking and how to approach it. Patterns Pattern problems are so
