How to Master LeetCode in 4 Months

[@mfauch4444]

That Princeton course on Coursera is what I used for a master's level Algo course. Highly recommend

[@CodingCrow]

it’s super underrated in the leetcode space for some reason 😅

[@mfauch4444]

@@CodingCrow Yeah I think it's the best practical algorithms/DS book. If you go through it fully and implement each data structure from scratch you will essentially be set for LC/interview questions.

What are those ones about? Would you say they’re worth the time?

[@anjanaykhare8125]

@@CodingCrow Both of them are about studying and designing algorithms (a bit advanced than most of the courses) but if you are familiar with basic discrete mathematics and they are not gonna teach you any language.

[@aa898246]

​@@CodingCrow 😎a tale as old as time, i did it for a few days and then stopped. but right now i've started to go through a discrete mathematics textbook and do the examples and take notes and stuff. i think after that ill come back and try do what you said in this video again

[@Rocky_000]

Thanks for the video! After I watched your video I started Coursera course. I have a question about assignments. The first lecture starts with and assignment and it asks to compile and run the java code from command line and want me to submit java files to pass the assignment. Is this mandatory. I could not see other option. Is it going to be like that through the course. It seemed different approach to me and tasks are not clear like first example asks something like "...use Knuth’s method: when reading the ith word, select it with probability 1/i to be the champion, replacing the previous champion..." which I have not heard it before (Knuth’s method) and course did not teach anything yet:))) I just watched the introduction video. I'd appreciate any advice:)

[@zainulabedin9850]

@aron Hi,thank you for making such an informative video.May I also ask what are the data structures and algorithms which would most likely be asked for Data science interview?

[@CodingCrow]

Hi zain, I'm not 100% familiar with Data Science interview questions as my main focus is on Software Engineering, but I did find a Reddit thread that has some great answers, be sure to scroll down and check the comments: www.reddit.com/r/datascience/comments/52hklz/data_science_interview_questions/

[@chrismundanchery4357]

Hey, how were you able to do the Princeton courses when your primary language is Python. This is the main thing that has been stumping me since I’m also mainly learning Python. The Princeton ones are in Java so I don’t know what to do.

[@c0nD1337]

Python is also an object oriented language. For me personally, I'm fully comfortable in both languages, so I can write an essentially identical class in python if I were to see one in Java. -- If you can't do this, practice both languages until you can; work on projects in each language until you get the fundamental understandings of them. If you can do that, writing a class in python for example a LL would be simple. Class Node: int: data Node: next. Very simple

[@progtom7585]

Learn some of the basics of Java. Knowing several languages is a good idea and theres a mountain of Java code out there, it wont be a lost skill. Also tons of other books and resources also use java 🙂. The basics should be enough to get you through most algo stuff, e.g. the main Java loops, conditionals, assignment, class structure, functions etc.

Hacking the coding interview or cracking the coding

[@adebowaleomolara3786]

1 year down the road. Have you gotten any offers?

[@CodingCrow]

Yep, made a video about it here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIqvnZZ7haeoeNk

[@kshitijshekhar1144]

EPI is a better beginner friendly book. CTCI is for pure problem solving. Can't be used as an intro to algorithms.

[@CodingCrow]

i think that this is probably true. looking back on it i would never suggest someone start with CTCI so thanks for commenting 😁

[@brianruiz8262]

Would you recommend cracking the code interview book for a complete beginner as well?

[@muhammedabdalla16]

Do u suggest we do the implementations while learning the princeton course or after finishing it?

[@dhairyshrivastava]

I am in my first year and almost going to complete oops part in c++ , I started doing cp in parallel with oops , can u recommend me ,from where shud I start dsa or what resources should I refer at this point.

[@CodingCrow]

I’d say start from the beginning with the Robert Sedgewick Algorithms course on Coursera

[@rohitpatil9934]

Help full video 🙏

[@CodingCrow]

Glad I was able to help 😁

[@ahmedelhadary1899]

thanks for that great video, I have one question which is should I solve leetcode problems after finishing each topic (I mean solving problems on each specific topic) or should I wait until I finish the full DSA roadmap of whatever course I'm taking then start solving problems on the full DSA?

[@CodingCrow]

Sorry for the late reply - what I did was finish the course first before starting on leetcode. I think it's important to get a good foundation of DSA so that you understand the solutions to the problems you look at. For example, why a solution uses a Min/Max Heap as opposed to a binary tree. Tradeoffs are important to understand and in order to make informed tradeoffs you have to know what's available.

[@mikecastor2047]

What is code rest or code rust??? I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

[@CodingCrow]

That's a course on educative, here's the link from the description www.educative.io/courses/coderust-hacking-the-coding-interview. Basically you can look at the questions on that course and look them up on leetcode so that you don't have to pay for the whole course.

[@sahiltakwale1937]

hey thnx, i wanted to ask the same.

[@kingofyoutube9318]

Have you read "Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures" by Marcello La Rocca. It's so good. Very underrated.

[@jaredburke3891]

Do you have to know Java for the Princeton course? I know Python and I'm debating if I should just find another course.

[@CodingCrow]

honestly I had done some java before but he teaches the Princeton course super well and uses pseudocode for almost everything so I still highly recommend it. If you’re not sure then you can give it a try and see if it’s a good fit because it’s free 😁

[@victorvondoom2350]

what is the minimum of datastructure relevant with leetcode problems? Are b,b+, red&black important etc...

[@CodingCrow]

I had the exact same question when I started studying. I think go through the course, whichever one it may be, and implement things as they say, but past understanding the general idea you won't need to know how to implement red/black, b+ etc. but you might be asked about how it works or what the tradeoff is when considering using one. The most I was asked to implement was Quicksort/Mergesort Hope this helps.
