Summary
This is the Python version of our book。 See the website for links to the C++ and Java version。Have you ever。。。
Wanted to work at an exciting futuristic company？
Struggled with an interview problem thatcould have been solved in 15 minutes？
Wished you could study real-world computing problems？
If so， you need to read Elements of Programming Interviews （EPI）。
EPI is your comprehensive guide to interviewing for software development roles。
The core of EPI is a collection of over 250 problems with detailed solutions。 The problems are representative of interview questions asked at leading software companies。 The problems are illustrated with 200 figures， 300 tested programs， and 150 additional variants。
The book begins with a summary of the nontechnical aspects of interviewing， such as strategies for a great interview， common mistakes， perspectives from the other side of the table， tips on negotiating the best offer， and a guide to the best ways to use EPI。 We also provide a summary of data structures， algorithms， and problem solving patterns。
Coding problems are presented through a series of chapters on basic and advanced data structures， searching， sorting， algorithm design principles， and concurrency。 Each chapter stars with a brief introduction， a case study， top tips， and a review of the most important library methods。 This is followed by a broad and thought-provoking set of problems。
A practical， fun approach to computer science fundamentals， as seen through the lens of common programming interview questions。

This book helped me to land an internship offer in Google and several new grad software engineering offers from FAANG companies such as Google， Facebook， and Stripe。I'd highly recommend this book to an ambitious friend who's looking to brush-up on their data structure and algorithm knowledge， rather than just telling them to "grind LeetCode" （this can act as a perfect supplement for LeetCode）The book also comes with EPIJudge （https://github。com/adnanaziz/EPIJudge） which can be cloned and run in This book helped me to land an internship offer in Google and several new grad software engineering offers from FAANG companies such as Google， Facebook， and Stripe。I'd highly recommend this book to an ambitious friend who's looking to brush-up on their data structure and algorithm knowledge， rather than just telling them to "grind LeetCode" （this can act as a perfect supplement for LeetCode）The book also comes with EPIJudge （https://github。com/adnanaziz/EPIJudge） which can be cloned and run in your local machines。I thought I already knew Python before reading this book， but I was wrong。 This book really teaches me how to write idiomatic Python code， and introduced me to lots of useful libraries that I use during programming interviews。I didn't regret buying the book and shipping it from America all the way to Indonesia 😁I didn't manage to finish all the content in the book （maybe just around 50-60%）， and I think I would still need to revisit this book in the future 👍 。。。more

The best book for difficult interview questions。 The only one I think can adequately prepare you for FAANG。 Good selection of programming language-specific topics covered， and a lot of tricky algorithms you might not encounter elsewhere。 My only complaint is the coding style sometimes becomes incredibly hard to read， from a combination of strange code （using a list with 1 element as a global variable across functions） and trying to be overly clever （lots of nested functions， nested list comprehe The best book for difficult interview questions。 The only one I think can adequately prepare you for FAANG。 Good selection of programming language-specific topics covered， and a lot of tricky algorithms you might not encounter elsewhere。 My only complaint is the coding style sometimes becomes incredibly hard to read， from a combination of strange code （using a list with 1 element as a global variable across functions） and trying to be overly clever （lots of nested functions， nested list comprehensions， etc。）。 。。。more

best book to crack the coding interview 。giving it 5 stars for now。 I will read a few more and do a comparison

Need to read again。 Well compiled。

Very helpful for the programming interviews at big tech companies。 Give yourself plenty of time to go through the book—I recommend at least one month。 It probably will take you 3 months of continuous learning to go through the book in its entirety， but even going through 1/3 of the problems （use the chart in book to see which ones these are） will be immensely useful for identifying problem types and getting a feel of pythonic solutions。

The perfect complement to a premium subscription to leetcode。com。 The solutions in this book are uniformly high quality， written in idiomatic python， and always give a full explanation。 The authors also reveal which libraries you should learn and use during whiteboard interviews， which concepts can be glossed over and which should be studied closely。 While the "Google interview prep" industry is rife with low-quality content， but this book holds itself to a high standard。The meat of the book is The perfect complement to a premium subscription to leetcode。com。 The solutions in this book are uniformly high quality， written in idiomatic python， and always give a full explanation。 The authors also reveal which libraries you should learn and use during whiteboard interviews， which concepts can be glossed over and which should be studied closely。 While the "Google interview prep" industry is rife with low-quality content， but this book holds itself to a high standard。The meat of the book is chapters 4-14， containing problems like those used in Google interviews， and other companies that have modeled their interviews after Google's。 Work through these chapters， read the solutions， and if don't learn something， you're ready to interview！ 。。。more

Hands down the best book that contains Python solutions to all sorts of coding interview questions。 Questions are just like in the interview setting， vague and broad， but the authors really did a great job iterating from the brute force to the optimal solution。Note - Beginners beware， the book is NOT meant for novice programmers。
