Coding Era

questions solved - stats

Programming

• problem Solutions - There is no point in seeing the solution directly
• Problem Solving - firstly think then write logic. write comments, high-level Pseudocode.
• White Board Coding - a diagram, flowchart, more detailed sketches.
• learn
  • How to speak everything you are thinking
  • How to verify that your code works (and check that it handles unexpected inputs correctly)
  • How to break a problem into parts
  • How to relate a problem to other problems you've seen/solved
  • How to test a problem against various data structures to see if it can be solved more cleverly
  • How to scope a problem (define it, identify/question assumptions, determine inputs & outputs)
  • How to write a brute force solution
  • How to improve the efficiency of a solution
  • How to externalize your thoughts
  • How to comment code in a helpful and organized manner
  • How to trace through code to verify that it works for sample inputs
  • How to identify where in your code you made a mistake if you aren't getting the output you expect
  • How to test individual parts separately
  • How to identify patterns in problems by going through sample inputs and considering expected outputs.
  • How Can you solve challenge in 4 lines of code or less?
  • How many approaches possible?
  • How to determine whether to use an iterative solution or a recursive solution
  • Every problem can be solved with recursion and without recursion
  • How Can I restate the problem in my own words?
  • What are the inputs that go into the problem?
  • What are the outputs that should come from the solution to the problem?
  • Can the outputs be determined from the inputs? In other words, do I have enough information to solve the problem? (You may not be able to answer this question until you set about solving the problem. That's okay; it's still worth considering the question at this early stage.)
  • How should I label the important pieces of data that are a part of the problem?

Algorithm problem includes

• problem statement
• input/output - General cases, base cases, error cases
• Algorithm
• code
• Time and space complexity
• bottlenecks
• unnecessary work
• duplicated work
