Today I solved the HackerRank problem:
“A Very Big Sum” 🔢
This challenge was very straightforward:
read the array
iterate through each number
accumulate the total sum
return the result
What made this session interesting wasn’t the difficulty itself, but the psychological context around it.
After struggling previously on a LeetCode optimization problem, I noticed I had developed a bit of apprehension toward harder algorithmic exercises.
So I intentionally started with HackerRank to rebuild momentum and confidence before returning to more difficult problems.
