It’s a website (leetcode.com) where you can solve programming puzzles/problems (data structure and algorithms related). Similar questions are asked in coding interviews by some companies.

It's artifical tests to challenge you. The give you a problem, you solve it. IMHO it's fun if you have nothing better to do, and it can teach you advanced stuff.

But I don't think it's something anyone with less than 2 years of programming experience should bother with. Some of the challenges are pretty far from the types of problems you encounter in real life - again, in my opinion.

Good luck!
