FreeCodeCamp Algorithms (beginner)

FCC teaches syntax and some different functions built into JavaScript, but many people have a hard time or give up altogether when they reach the algorithms section. Why is this? Because until then the lessons held your hand, and you only had to copy and memorize. It feels good, and it seems like you’re making real progress…

What FCC didn’t teach you is how to problem solve. It gave you the tools, but it’s now onto you to figure out the right combination of tools to solve problems. This series is to help you develop your problem-solving skills and give you a starting framework for solving any challenge.
