Hello,

I am a senior undergrad CS student, I've done many internships throughout my degree so far. None of them required me to know the stuff that's in Cracking the Coding interview so I never really cared about it. Like, I knew it was important but never had a need to go through it. Until...

I got invited to get interviewed by Google, I did well on the phone interviews and got invited to the company for in-person interviews. One of the rounds was a white boarding one and I screwed that one up really hard. They asked me to solve problems that required me to know concepts I haven't used since my first/freshman year like discrete math type of concepts. So I implemented it from a high-level perspective (since I didn't remember the low level stuff at all) but then they specifically asked for a low-level implementation and was so embarrassed at that point I simply screwed up since I didn't know how to. I mean I would've if this happened right after my first year. But I forget these things.

I eventually got rejected but I'm glad I made it this far. I'm now really interested in going through Cracking the Coding interview book to ace the white boarding interview next time. But I just can't accept that I have to go through like what? 20 chapters for concepts that don't really help me as a software engineer. You never need to invert a binary tree when you're a software engineer at a company type of thing. I really don't know how to accept that I have to go through that book. But I also need to if I want to get better at white-boarding interviews.

Did any of you guys go through this type of situation? How did you handle it?

TL;DR: How did you guys get yourself to go through Cracking the Coding interview book even though it doesn't directly improve you as a software developer and you'll most likely never use such concepts?

This tutorial ranked number 1 on Google and YouTube.so thought of sharing with you all.

If you are a competitive programmer or preparing for competitive programming or solve coding problems online then you would have come across one algorithm called prefix sum.
But most of people do know the benefit of this algorithm.

Here is the tutorial which explains why you must know prefix-sum algorithm.

Good Evening Everyone,

I was an International Student who graduated with a Master's in CS and was working for a Re-insurance firm as an Intern for 6 months. I have 2 years of SE experience with Accenture in India and now I am searching for Full-Time Opportunities.

With Introduction aside, I wanted to share with you the past few months that went for me; I was continuously studying, applying, and Leetcoding and now in the Month of January; I have interviews scheduled within a single week which is tiring but I am keeping myself up by thinking that this is just a hiccup and you will get there in a good position. When I start solving coding challenges during the Interview; the time starts running like The Flash (SuperHero) and I never really get the opportunity to showcase to the Interviewer that I researched about the firm; studied about the business etc. How should we tackle this Timing situation and what better needs to be done in the Coding Interview?

I try to continuously talk through my Thought process and also think simultaneously, which sometimes feels like I am missing some ideas from my mind for solving the question.

Also, if the Interviewer helps to go in a particular direction, is it a good thing for the Outcome of the Interview?

I'm starting my interview prep and will be applying to companies in September this year. I had a few questions:

1. Does the choice of programming language matter? (I might choose between python and java)

2. Do interviews have coding rounds like those on leetcode and Hackerrank? Or is it a pen and paper type interview?

3. How do I know what topics I need to cover? I have been leetcoding, but I still fell unsure about my prep.

I received an email about how [company], which I have gotten a chance to talk briefly to at a hackathon, reviewed my profile(?) and documents and that I stood out (despite having no prior experience and only small YouTube-tutorial-followed "projects") to schedule first round of interview to get to know me for an internship position.

I am not sure how it will go and I am not sure what kind of questions they may ask and what questions I should ask them. Any suggested questions will be appreciated.

I did hear that you should be asking specific way and also ask something about finance/savings or something or you ask these thing after like the last round of interview. but i am not sure about that.

Another question is, lets say that I do follow to the next round and then get hired as intern, but at the time I have another intern position also wiling to hire me or something, how should I email them or explain kindly the situation and turn down the offer without compromising potential chance/opportunity to apply to same company in the future (and without looking bad)?

Any suggestions, tips, guide will be appreciated :) Thanks in advance.
