It is a PHP DSA Learn + Solve gym — not a Study repo and not a solutions dump.

[

Learn + Solve gym for PHP DSA: 238 Gate stubs, climb E → S, you write every answer.
Not a solutions dump · not Laravel/OOP · not a full NeetCode mirror.

🌑 Hunter Solves First — every solution-1.php starts empty (TODO).

Start here

You are…	Open
New to PHP / reading problems	00-Awakening/
Comfortable with basic PHP	Gate 001
Interview prep	Tracks 00 → 04 in order

PHP is not the usual FAANG live-coding language; the patterns still transfer.

---

Quick start

php -v            # PHP 8.5+
php playground.php

1. Read the Gate README.md (brief → examples → Backend Link).
2. Solve in solution-1.php — brute force first, then tighten.
3. Say Time / Space aloud; mark ✅ on the Gate map.

No framework and no Composer required for the climb.
