About the Book
Do you have a coding interview lined up, or simply want to brush up on solving complex coding problems?
The coding interview remains the central part of the hiring process. While some companies have shifted and use it only as a convenient scaffolding, for most, it remains the primary filter for candidates. Training for this part of the process, therefore, remains critical.
This book will guide you through the different categories of problems and teach you the common patterns and approaches to solving any coding problem with optimal time and space complexity.
The companion repository will give you a zero-setup C++ development environment to train your coding skills while solving common interview problems.
