LeetCode
Found at: leetcode.com
Abstract:
LeetCode is a website that offers thousands of interview practice questions for its users. The site has over 2 million registered users, and has over 2,500 practice problems (but please don’t go trying to solve them all). Coding interviews have become a staple of the computer science internship experience, and taking these interviews is a skill that must be practiced. With a free subscription, students can start answering questions with any language of their choice and any question type they want.
Coding interviews can often take many different forms, but the underlying principles of each are relatively similar. They will often consist of a data structure or an algorithm question. The LeetCode question bank can be filtered for the difficulty and type of question that a student wants.
Tips:
- Start with easy questions. Start simple and build your way up to more difficult problems.
- Give a solid effort on every question. Give yourself at least 10 minutes to think about a problem before you look at the answers.
- If you don’t know where to start, filter for the “Blind 75” problems. These questions are the most indicative of coding interview problems that people have had in real interviews.
