Grokking-the-Coding-Interview-Patterns-for-Coding-Questions VS Several-Coding-Patterns-for-Solving-Data-Structures-and-Algorithms-Problems-during-Interviews

Came to say this. Look for a list of frequent problem types and algorithms (something like this: https://github.com/cl2333/Grokking-the-Coding-Interview-Patterns-for-Coding-Questions). Study the optimal solution for each type to the point where it is muscle memory. Once you have understood the solution for one problem type , solve multiple problems of this type and see if you are able to apply the solution that you studied. Remember you are not meant to be able to come up with algorithms on your own.

I also just started using Grokking the Coding Interview by DesignGurus. There is also the one on educative which i heard was the same thing but i cant verify that (they are both paid). I wish I had known about what this course was a long time ago, but I'm still glad someone told me about it. This course will teach you how to leetcode, specifically acknowledging some of the common patterns that are used in leetcode questions. There is a free version on github, cant tell u if its good tho https://github.com/cl2333/Grokking-the-Coding-Interview-Patterns-for-Coding-Questions.

I don't have an educative account, but here's a repo with the grokking questions

Hi guys , after searching on Google , I got this GitHub link https://github.com/cl2333/Grokking-the-Coding-Interview-Patterns-for-Coding-Questions .See if this helps and credit goes to the dedicated coder who created above repo.

Grokking the Coding Interview is useful if you need a pattern explained before trying to use it on a problem. It also has examples and written explanations.

I go to a small state school in the midwest. My DSA course is split up into linear and non-linear data structures across 2 semesters. The general concepts that you use in LC-style problems were definitely taught (tree traversal, BFS/DFS, djikstra's, MST, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash maps <-- MAJOR, sorting). I interviewed for a lot of places that never asked LC questions and I was definitely prepared just from my courses in school for those. When I got to doing LC-style questions, I was definitely underprepared. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to do the LC problems not just to memorize the solution, but look out for patterns. Grokking the Coding Interview (paid, but solutions available on GitHub) does a good job of showcasing the patterns, as does leetcode patterns (free).

It doesn't have the cool little notes about each type of problem, but here's a list of the problems I think. Not sure if entirely the same, but probably so. https://github.com/cl2333/Grokking-the-Coding-Interview-Patterns-for-Coding-Questions

Its not worth it because its available for free in the github
