So many books exist already that teach you a programming language or subjects such as algorithms, but few books on programming challenges. Puzzles that teach you insights into computer science and applying the right algorithm at the right time, or challenges that help you compare programming paradigms. The Reddit DailyProgrammer community has been an active forum for many years, and the author of this book is one of the moderators of that forum. Using challenges he's written, you can find something to help you grow in your skills.

Originally conceived of as a way to compare programing languages and paradigms, this collection of nearly 200 programming challenges grouped into easy, medium, and hard categories covers a wide variety of topics:

graph theory
math and number theory
algorithms on strings
encryption
the HTTP protocol
bioinformatics
computational geometry
puzzles
and more

This book isn’t meant to be read end to end, but instead picked from here and there. While challenges get harder through the book - progressing from easy to intermediate to hard - they don’t follow a strict set of requirements for categorizing. Don’t be discouraged, sometimes you can come back to a harder one after some thought and practice.
