Question

How to memorize large blocks of code? Repetition takes too long and I've had some success using mindmaps, but trying to find better methods. Our exams are handwritten so I need to know it all by heart. I'm doing data structures using C++.

Answer 3

Studying before sleeping seems a bit counter-intuitive to me as you want to put your brain at rest before sleep, not put it to work.

Answer 9

Don't memorize those. It's kinda futile :) Learn the logic/algo behind them and just implement yourself.

Answer 10

if you know the logics behind the code then you don't have to memorize anything.
Isuggest when you want to learn a language, instead of cramming the code, first understand the logic and then practice it by writing different different programs.
Its the best way to know and understand a language.
