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.

On a computer, where the non-recursive Dynamic Programming solution to compute the n'th Fibonacci term takes 1 second to find the 40th term, the corresponding recursive solution will take approximately 56 hours to find the same 40th Fibonacci term. It is because the small innocent-looking recursive solution of Fibonacci takes exponential time, whereas the DP solution takes linear time. Dynamic programming questions are the most difficult to answer in competitions and interviews. In most coding competitions, a recursive solution will not pass all test cases. This book takes dynamic programming head-on.

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.

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.

Strings are fundamental data type in real world and developing algorithms to deal with it is an important domain. In interviews, often, string algorithms are most insightful and challenging.In this guide for the day before your coding interview, we have explored some problems and demonstrated the thought process to solve it starting from the brute force solutions. In the process, we have covered all fundamental ideas along with applying Dynamic Programming to String algorithms so that you are able to solve all string-based problems. Some of the problems we have covered are: - Check substring: This is an important fundamental problem where we learn how strings can be handled just like numeric data and algorithms for numeric data can be leveraged.Some of the core concepts we explored are string hashing, rolling hash and much more.- Longest common substring: This is a core problem as this uses the concepts we gained in the previous problems and an alternative solution is to use Dynamic Programming.The core idea is to apply Dynamic Programming over two different string data.- Longest repeating substring: In line with our previous problem, we explored how to apply Dynamic Programming for this problem. The key distinction is that we are dealing with just 1 string instead of 2 strings as in the previous problem. Unlike the previous problem, the Dynamic Programming approach is the only optimal solution.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.
