Day 8 of My DSA Journey 📅 | PrepInsta Problems + Visual Dry Runs | Full Solutions on DEV Blog

Welcome to Day 8 of my DSA Problem Solving Journey! 🚀
Today, I focused on solving basic string and logic-based DSA questions using PrepInsta, while taking the extra step to visualize every concept and dry run in Excalidraw.

🧠 What I Did Today:

✅ Solved beginner-level DSA problems (mostly string search)
✅ Wrote clear step-by-step approaches for each problem
✅ Used Excalidraw to dry run the code and map logic visually
✅ Practiced manually tracking variables and loop iterations
✅ Documented everything on my DEV blog with diagrams & solutions

In the post, you’ll find:

🧩 Each question I solved
🧠 My approach and thought process
💻 Code solutions
🖼️ Visual dry runs made with Excalidraw (step-by-step breakdowns)
🔧 Tools I Used:

📚 PrepInsta – For curated beginner-friendly DSA questions
🖊️ Excalidraw – An online whiteboard I used to draw memory maps, variable changes, and loop flows
📖 Excel – For tracking dry runs in tabular format

🎯 If you're a beginner or someone restarting DSA, I highly recommend trying this visual method — it helps a lot with understanding the “why” behind each line of code.
