Description
Cracking the Coding Interview is the result of my first-hand experience interviewing at top companies. It is the result of hundreds of conversations with candidates. It is the result of the thousands of questions contributed by candidates and interviewers. And it’s the result of seeing so many interview questions from so many firms. Enclosed in this book are 150 of the best interview questions, selected from thousands of potential problems.
My Approach
The focus of Cracking the Coding Interview is algorithm, coding and design questions. Why? Because while you can and will be asked behavioral questions, the answers willbe as varied as your resume. Likewise, while many firms will ask so-called”trivia”questions (e.g., “What is a virtual function?”), the skills developed through practicing these questions are limited to very specific bits of knowledge.The book will briefly touch on some of these questions to show you what they’re like, but I have chosen to allocate space where there’s more to learn.
