Cracking the Coding Interview, 6th Edition: 189 Programming Questions and Solutions (Cracking the Interview & Career)
£26.80
Cracking the Coding Interview, 6th Edition is here to help you through this process, teaching you what you need to know and enabling you to perform at your very best. I’ve coached and interviewed hundreds of software engineers. The result is this book.
Learn how to uncover the hints and hidden details in a question, discover how to break down a problem into manageable chunks, develop techniques to unstick yourself when stuck, learn (or re-learn) core computer science concepts, and practice on 189 interview questions and solutions.
These interview questions are real; they are not pulled out of computer science textbooks. They reflect what’s truly being asked at the top companies, so that you can be as prepared as possible.
WHAT’S INSIDE?
- 189 programming interview questions, ranging from the basics to the trickiest algorithm problems.
- A walk-through of how to derive each solution, so that you can learn how to get there yourself.
- Hints on how to solve each of the 189 questions, just like what you would get in a real interview.
- Five proven strategies to tackle algorithm questions, so that you can solve questions you haven’t seen.
- Extensive coverage of essential topics, such as big O time, data structures, and core algorithms.
- A “behind the scenes” look at how top companies, like Google and Facebook, hire developers.
- Techniques to prepare for and ace the “soft” side of the interview: behavioral questions.
- For interviewers and companies: details on what makes a good interview question and hiring process.

I am a new grads passionate about programming. This book is covering a lot of stuff for your interview. However, in my opinion, some exercises are going too much in depth. It’s a great book anyway. A little bit hard for new grads like me at some point.

Very good to teach you several steps of an interview and the codes

Reading books was never my ‘thing’,
but this is different! Starting with a few online videos from the author, the magic begins!
highly recommended, not only if you’re looking getting good for an interview but also for improving your self,
how you think and how you work will be improved in many ways.
Any level of developer you might be, I believe you have to go through the book at least once.
It’s not only about algorithms and data structures, even if you’re not keen on them, go through the logic the author provides, it will make you better at thinking in in general.
To prepare for the interviews, make sure you go through the book months before, or you might regret not having enough time to practice what you learn here!
To prepare how to interview, it will make you and your company look great to a new candidate and it will help you on how to think of the candidate as well!
Go for it and you’ll fall in love!

Got the dummies book before this what a beauty in comparison so informative on such a wide array of topics u could learn coding from this book alone. DO NOT BUY THE DUMMIES BOOKS absolute cheeks

This book is very well written and has a lot of content (I’m still going through it). I’ve been developing software for over 20 years, but still found it useful, so would recommend to all levels of experience. Only slight issue is that it’s large, and heavy, and the binding seemed a little sub-optimal – that there are too many pages for a paperback book – and that soon pages may fall out.

I’ve rated this as a four star as the book seems to be well written. I only got so far before I gave up.
The reason for this is : I graduated and was looking for developer jobs and thought this book would be great!
Perhaps it is great for someone with a few years experience that’s looking for a senior developer role.
As a junior this was out with my skill set or knowledge l.
The book is well written don’t get me wrong and you will learn a lot from it but I think it would require sitting down and making this a study book.
No doubt I will go back to this in a few years when I have a far greater knowledge and can understand this

One of the best books I read on the topic. It helped me feel super confident in interviews – some parts over-prepare you but I felt ready for the worst to come. I cannot recommend this enough, especially if your background is not Software Engineering
by Elena
Pages from 107 to 118 missing, so no graphs and bit manipulation topics for me ????
Other than that, some useful advices and approaches how to solve problems. But definitely it should not be seen as a single thing you need to do for interview preparation. It’s a good book but not a magic pill, and nothing is ???? Of course if you’ve already solved couple of hundreds problems on leetcode you’ll be bored.
