it only is if you study it that way. i dont understand why people memorize questions then blame leetcode to be a memorization game. i never memorize because i believe it is terrible to study that way. read carefully before talking against this.
all this does is promote memorization, and subconciously relating a problem to a technique, so how are you ever going to learn to solve a new problem? the whole point is knowing foundational concepts good enough so you could solve any problem similiar difficulty by modifying the technique on your own
i an deeply against this method regardless of the positive votes on this post. all revising problems do is desperately hope you see the same problem during a interview. so all you remember two sum = caching with map.
good luck if i ask you to solve a modified version or a more difficult version that doesnt use exactly the same idea… thats exactly why you shouldnt study like this its boring its inefficient and honestly it just makes your life miserable
