Book Dynamic Programming for the Day Before Your Coding Interview

Download or read book Dynamic Programming for the Day Before Your Coding Interview written by Ue Kiao and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Programming is a fundamental algorithmic technique which is behind solving some of the toughest computing problems.In this book, we have covered some Dynamic Programming problems which will give you the general idea of formulating a Dynamic Programming solution and some practice on applying it on a variety of problems.Some of the problems we have covered are: * Permutation coefficientThis is a basic problem but is significant in understanding the idea behind Dynamic Programming. We have used this problem to: * Present the two core ideas of Dynamic Programming to make the idea clear and help you understand what Dynamic Programming mean. * Show another approach which can same performance (in terms of time complexity) and understand how it is different from our Dynamic Programming approach* Longest Common SubstringThis is an important problem as we see how we can apply Dynamic Programming in string problems. In the process, we have demonstrated the core ideas of handling string data which helps in identifying the cases when Dynamic Programming is the most efficient approach.* XOR valueThis is another significant problem as we are applying Dynamic Programming on a Number Theory problem more specifically problem involving subset generation. The search space is exponential in size but with our efficient approach, we can search the entire data in polynomial time which is a significant improvement.This brings up a fundamental power of Dynamic Programming: Search exponential search space in polynomial time* K edgesIn line with our previous problems, in this problem, we have applied Dynamic Programming in a graph-based problem. This is a core problem as in this we learn that: * Dynamic Programming makes the solution super-efficient * Extending the Dynamic Programming solution using Divide and Conquer enables us to solve it more efficientlyThis problem shows a problem where Dynamic Programming is not the most efficient solution but is in the right path.We have covered other relevant solutions and ideas as well so that you have the complete idea of the problems and understand deeply the significance of Dynamic Programming in respect to the problems.This book has been carefully prepared and reviewed by Top programmers and Algorithmic researchers and members of OpenGenus. We would like to thank Aditya Chatterjee and Ue Kiao for their expertise in this domain and reviews from professors at The University of Tokyo and Tokyo Institute of Technology.Read this book now and ace your upcoming coding interview. This is a must read for everyone preparing for Coding Interviews at top companies.

Book Dynamic Programming for Coding Interviews

Download or read book Dynamic Programming for Coding Interviews written by Meenakshi and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wanted to compute 80th term of the Fibonacci series. I wrote the rampant recursive function, int fib(int n){ return (1==n || 2==n) ? 1 : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2); } and waited for the result. I wait… and wait… and wait… With an 8GB RAM and an Intel i5 CPU, why is it taking so long? I terminated the process and tried computing the 40th term. It took about a second. I put a check and was shocked to find that the above recursive function was called 204,668,309 times while computing the 40th term. More than 200 million times? Is it reporting function calls or scam of some government? The Dynamic Programming solution computes 100th Fibonacci term in less than fraction of a second, with a single function call, taking linear time and constant extra memory. A recursive solution, usually, neither pass all test cases in a coding competition, nor does it impress the interviewer in an interview of company like Google, Microsoft, etc. The most difficult questions asked in competitions and interviews, are from dynamic programming. This book takes Dynamic Programming head-on. It first explain the concepts with simple examples and then deep dives into complex DP problems.

Book Mathematical Algorithms for the Day Before Your Coding Interview

Download or read book Mathematical Algorithms for the Day Before Your Coding Interview written by Ue Kiao and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical Algorithms are fundamentally important as several real-life problems can be modeled as a Mathematical problem. Solving such problems require mathematical insights.These problems are a fundamental part of Interviews as it illustrates the thinking process of the candidate clearly. By going through the problems in this book, you will be well prepared to tackle any Mathematical problem.Following are some of the problems we have explored which involve ideas to solve a wider range of problems.- Smallest number with multiplesThis is a unique problem where we learn key insights regarding Prime factorization, role of primes in multiples and much more.We improve the time complexity of this problem starting from O(N^3 * log N) to O(N * log N * log N) to O(N * log log N).- Largest palindromeIn this problem, we have reduced 810000 comparisons to 362 comparisons based on three deep insights. This is a dramatic improvement and demonstrates that even if time complexity cannot be improved, the performance can be improved significantly.- GCD of sub-partsThis problem brings up key insights involving GCD (a common and important topic) and in the process, we have explored several standard algorithms like Euclidean' s GCD Algorithm in the path of developing our custom algorithm for the given problem.- Next PermutationThis problem demonstrates a significant improvement from O(N^N x N x logN) time to O(N) time complexity. Moreover, it illustrates that improving time complexity does not necessarily mean increasing space complexity as it reduces space complexity from O(N^N) to O(1).This brings in idea of Greedy Algorithms to Mathematical Algorithm and in the process, we have explored several standard algorithms like Heap's Algorithm.With these problems and the thought process to solve them, you will be fully prepared.This book has been carefully prepared and reviewed by Top programmers and Algorithmic researchers and members of OpenGenus.

Download or read book Greedy Algorithms for the Day Before Your Coding Interview written by Ue Kiao and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greedy algorithms are fundamentally important as it encapsulate algorithmic problems where choosing the most obvious answer for the current sub-problem results in solving the entire problem.This seems to be easy and it is easy. The difficult part is to understand if a problem can be solved using a Greedy algorithm. There are numerous problems where a greedy algorithm may look to be the solution but is in fact, not the case.In this book, we have covered some greedy problems which you can cover in a day to get prepared just before your coding interview.We have covered problems like:* Finding largest number with given number of digits and sum (Important as it illustrates how an exponential search space can be traversed in linear time)* Number as a sum of Fibonacci terms (Requires deep insights from Number Theory to truly understand this problem which we explained)* Maximal clique (a perfect problem as it shows greedy algorithms can be effectively used in finding structures within graphs)* Task Selection (this problem is unique as slightly changing the problem statement, no greedy approach will be valid. In fact, this is a problem where Greedy Algorithm is preferred over a corresponding Dynamic Programming approach.)* Graph Coloring (This is a real-world problem and vast amount of research has been put into this. We presented a greedy solution to this along with the general idea of other approaches.)and many more ideas.We have added pseudocode for each approach which you should go through and implement in your programming language of choice to get in the flow of implementing ideas as well.This book has been carefully prepared and reviewed by Top programmers and Algorithmic researchers and members of OpenGenus.

Download or read book Coding Interviews written by Harry He and published by Apress. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about coding interview questions from software and Internet companies. It covers five key factors which determine performance of candidates: (1) the basics of programming languages, data structures and algorithms, (2) approaches to writing code with high quality, (3) tips to solve difficult problems, (4) methods to optimize code, (5) soft skills required in interviews. The basics of languages, algorithms and data structures are discussed as well as questions that explore how to write robust solutions after breaking down problems into manageable pieces. It also includes examples to focus on modeling and creative problem solving. Interview questions from the most popular companies in the IT industry are taken as examples to illustrate the five factors above. Besides solutions, it contains detailed analysis, how interviewers evaluate solutions, as well as why they like or dislike them. The author makes clever use of the fact that interviewees will have limited time to program meaningful solutions which in turn, limits the options an interviewer has. So the author covers those bases. Readers will improve their interview performance after reading this book. It will be beneficial for them even after they get offers, because its topics, such as approaches to analyzing difficult problems, writing robust code and optimizing, are all essential for high-performing coders.
