I've run into a situation where my laptop's hard disk is damaged, and I'm out in a remote area with no repair shops nearby. I'm really eager to learn programming and data structures and algorithms (DSA) in the next two months. Is it possible to code on my tablet instead? Are there any online software options I can use for coding on a tablet?

I once learned C++ using just my Samsung Note! It was a bit tough, but if you get a tiny Bluetooth keyboard, it makes a world of difference. Online compilers like repl.it will work fine for your needs, especially since you've got a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard ready.
If you're coding on a tablet, online IDEs are your best bet since the options are limited. It’s rough to code on a tablet, but you can get by with the right setup. Also, if there's any chance, consider getting an external hard drive for your laptop and installing Linux for easier coding.
I learned programming with just paper and pencil once! It's definitely an option if you're in a tough spot, but just keep in mind that actual coding tools will speed up your learning exponentially.
Learning programming and DSA in just two months? That's quite ambitious! Just a heads up, it won't be easy, but starting on a tablet is definitely doable.
Absolutely, you can code on your tablet! There are several IDEs available on app stores, and you should try the online VS Code web app too, like the one at vscode.dev. It works pretty well for coding on the go.
I do have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard! I'm just hoping I can manage with it until I can get a new laptop.
