Sit Down and Study

Practice programming with AI-generated, LeetCode-style questions and run your code online.

Overview

Sit Down and Study is a platform designed to help you improve your programming skills through LeetCode-style questions. You can write and run your code directly on the platform, using an integrated code execution engine, and receive instant feedback. The platform also provides on-demand hints and reading materials to help you learn as you go.

Whether you’re preparing for technical interviews or honing your coding skills, Sit Down and Study offers a flexible and interactive learning experience. Features

• AI-Generated LeetCode-Style Questions: Practice problems are generated using OpenAI’s API, covering a variety of programming topics and languages.
• Run Code Online: The platform directly interacts with Judge0 to allow you to write and execute your code in the browser, just like on LeetCode, and get instant feedback.
• Instant Feedback: Submit your code and know right away if your solution is correct.
• On-Demand Hints and Reading Material: If you get stuck, access hints or read topic-related materials to help you solve the problem.
• View Solutions: After attempting a problem, you can view a detailed solution to understand the best approach.
• Continue or Stop: After solving a problem, choose to move on to the next or take a break, making learning at your own pace easy.
• Lecture Slides (Coming Soon): We’re planning to add lecture slides for a deeper understanding of key concepts.
