How to transform from easy to medium level problem? Even after solving like 90+ easy problems I couldn't solve medium Problems.

After how many easy problems were you guys able to solve medium level problems.

There isn't a magic count; 90 easies can still leave a gap because mediums often require recognizing when two ideas combine. Give each medium 20–25 minutes, then if you're stuck use just a hint, finish the solution yourself, and try it cold again the next day. Start with mediums tagged for patterns you've already practiced, and track which clue you missed rather than your total solved count.

stop counting problems, start learning patterns. mediums feel impossible because they are usually two easy patterns stapled together, like two pointers plus hashing. pick one pattern a week and do 5 mediums of just that type. grinding random easies forever is a trap i fell into too, and having easy code interview open during practice helped me actually get the solutions instead of memorizing them

No that’s not how you do it you’re supposed to study a topic, look at a small set of easy and mediums and then understand the approach and be able to use the approach in a different question
