Dynamic programming is very important in Indian SWE interviews. You will get atleast 1 DP in any one of the rounds. Its usually some variations of LCS or Buy and Sell stocks. I think top 10 most important are: Array, Matrix, Hashing Two pointer & Sliding window Tree Graph DP LinkedList Heap Merge intervals Prefix sum Some variation of binary search

[@daruiraikage]

In indian interviews, Do you usually get at least a lean hire or hire if you solve the problem with the naive approach but were not able to optimise it?

[@atifshaik]

@@daruiraikage in 2 problems you need to optimize 1 problem and brute force for other can help in for next round

[@assasinsjeff]

They smart cuz gpt can’t solve em well 😅

[@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384]

thats why indian companies suck and the country is hell... lol

[@natanshisharma8828]

Also to get grasp of trees or graphs or even DP you need to get really good in recursion so yeah need to do that also

DP problems were asked in my Meta interview and it was from top 150 overall problems. DP is a must.

[@YogeshBora07]

From top 150 interview questions or NC 150 ?

So much DP. I am fairly comfortable with DP now.

[@kidyoshi007]

Thank you Aman, please do not stop making KZbin videos, your videos are great. im now doing like 10 problems a day, and 1 mock interview with a friend every week!

[@eddiekiller21]

You motivated me to start, so I did 2 Sum, solved it brute force. Now I know I need to learn about hash maps, and std::vector. Bless you brother ❤️

[@R4eWclan]

after doing a few leetcodes now i realize why hashmaps are the answer to everything xD

[@sahanalakshmipathy718]

Thanks bruh, most of the things you said seem to resonate with me. I had a hard time figuring out leetcode then solving problems, then I promised myself to do better and I did almost 300 probs and lost motivation cuz, I wasn't able to solve mediums consistently your video helped me get back on track.

[@isabelle8520]

I just finished going through all the problems in your problem set, and I’m amazed at how much I've improved! I went from being scared of LeetCode problems to now having fun solving them because I know patterns and techniques. It’s so cool to see the results in my problem-solving skills. Thanks for this free resource!

[@Obzrve]

I am a Computer Science student who has recently delved into studying LeetCode. With a data structures class approaching, I find it amusing how there is a proliferation of LeetCode courses being promoted. While I understand the appeal, the way in which these courses are marketed can be off-putting. Not everyone aspires to work for big tech companies like Google or Amazon. The fear of missing out (FOMO) tactics used in marketing seem to be luring in many CS students.

Wow! Thank you for all the advice, you saved me so much time

[@anirudhv0062]

I want to set up a club, but I am not a college student. i passed out in 2021 in mechanical engineering in Delhi India. around till 1.5 years i tried different things, like preparing for masters, mba, for government exams etc. until i started to learn how to code. for one year i learnt all these different technologies through an online certificate course. Its been almost 2 months since that was over. have been applying consistently to jobs, trying leetcode. But i jave not been able to come up with a routine and stick to it. i am turning 25, 3 years since graduation and no job experience yet. It's my own fault wasting my time overthinking, but i keep trying to do stuff. I feel i don't know what I am doing half the time. i do not knoe anyone else who is in my situation. so for now, I prepare alone.

[@weiSane]

You are not alone. There’s many others out there in same situation

[@stopthewar9993]

Data science lead here. These problems help you think and solve problem. That's all.

I mean maybe in data science this applies less, but it is absolutely useful for getting a job as SWE.

I did 2 google interviews, both were leetcode hards (DP), both didn’t go through. Maybe I got unlucky, but I think 10% isn’t enough. This was for a regular sde role, nothing senior

I'm currently applying for the ml engineer position, and during the interview, they asked at most two leetcode type questions. Most of the interview is over hour of questions about ml algorithms, so leetcode is not that important overall. I'm pretty sure that the other positions it is similar.

[@gokukakarot6323]

Students can solve leetcode problems, given that this is pretty well known thing, starting for 1st year, in a year or two, there is so much time in the world. Senior devs got it the worst, the part where you have to rediscover the understandings of some problems, coz out of practice for years at stretch.

[@anthonyleong4238]

I have a 50% chance at solving hards. But I am obsessed with algorithms and am trying to master them. One of these days, I will get married to data structures and algorithms ❤. But I’m honestly not an engineer. I am an applied mathematician at heart.

[@musicplaylist6909]

Spend 5 mins thinking of a solution, 20 mins trying to implement if you cant solve by then, check solutions, repeat problem till you get a hang of it. RINSE AND REPEAT. Simple as that no need to sped the 20mins watching this video. This will work to speed run understanding easy to medium problems. Dont worry about hard problems, when companies give this they are not concerned about implementation correctness, rather, your thinking process leading up to the solutions. So if you want to attempt hard level problems, do so without feeling the need to have a correct implementation, but the approach should be reasonable.

I am a bootcamp graduate who has been struggling to get a job. It was made known to me by a recruiter that my leetcode skills were the thing that holds me back. There are companies where you get a leetcode problem before you ever talk to a human being.

No it’s cus ur a boot camp grad not leetcode

[@popinjay69]

Both could be true but if he was passing the leetcodes they were giving him then you could claim it’s just the bootcamp. But seems like he’s getting the leetcodes and not passing them

[@SeshanDecodes]

I have a question? Can you use Sudo code to solve some of these Leet Code problems. Using Sudo code and AI so you are language independent. You understand the concept and generate the syntax using AI?

[@АлекСневар]

Why? The whole point is to get used to a real world language, which you are gonna be using at your future work. Start off with Python, basically it’s called the executable pseudo code

[@patrickjreid]

I think seudocode is brilliant. Its basically his pen and paper step. Its really really important to to be able to think through problems in english. That concept was invented by Grace Hopper, and she is why we don't code in binary.
