Coding Interview Patterns: Nail Your Next Coding Interview

Step by step instructions to solve a problem plus links to try to solve the exercises with code! This is any python developer bible for coding interviews!

Clear examples with good code samples, although written in python only. Covers majority of topics that may come up during interview. Easy to read, clear explanations.

Fantastic book if you are learning coding patterns. The explanations are the best out there - better than any youtuber or leetcode editorial. I'm still in the middle of my preparations, but if I were to start again I would say to you: - Don't spend too long on each problem. When I started I would spend 2 hours on a problem and force myself to figure it out. It is honestly a waste of time -- spend half an hour at most on each problem, don't be afraid to look at the explanation, that way you can get through the entire book in a reasonable amount of time. - This book is not a substitute for an algorithms textbook like Skiena's, it teaches you the minimum to be able to use a concept as a coding pattern, but that's it. If you want to establish a university-undergraduate style understanding of DS&A, you should read through a textbook at the same time. - The book and its accompanying online judge website only uses Python code, I don't think there is a substitute for LeetCode, and all of the problems in this book are slightly reworded versions of famous leetcode problems. I am still in the process of studying so this is all I can say so far. But it's a great book and I would highly recommend it.

This is an excellent modern to-the-point *handbook* for *coding* interviews

I will be honest; I have been running away from algorithms for the past 10 years and I struggled with even solving the easy leetcode problems. I bought this book because while I have other sources on learning leetcode patterns, it does not allow me to make my own notes directly on the material itself. I also find it useful understand all the little details on how the patterns work and extend this knowledge to go solve problems in an actual coding interview. I would highly recommend this book for anyone trying to start building their problem-solving toolkit on solving interview questions.

This is by far superior source compared to neetcode or algoexpert. The explanations are superb, and it was easy to read. I think the Dynamic Programming section lacked some details. For example, the explanation how to go from top-down to bottom-up was akward. Something about reversing the order was mentioned instead of just explaining the topological order. Also, if you are completely new to algos and want to prepare for coding interviews, don't use this book first. Start with 'Introduction to Algorithms' course from MIT, then this book with LeetCode Premium. Find the same questions from the book on leetcode and implement it in your language, read both explanations from the book and leetcode editorial, and you will know everything there is to a given problem.

Great resource, re-read every now and then

Très bon livre pour se préparer, notamment à des entretiens. Différents thèmes y sont abordés, les illustrations aident à comprendre les concepts qui sont présentés. A noter que ce livre est en anglais.

Printing of the product is extremely bad, it is unreadable. The ink is too dim. Unfortunately, my return window is closed or else I would have asked for a refund.
