Woot algo problems! Let's make our heads hurt!

Code Chrysalis Algorithms Meetup!

Let's make our heads hurt together :)

About the Algos Meetup

Our meetup is welcome to algorithm lovers of all languages AND levels. We want this to be a space where people can work through fun algos together and learn from each other.

• Almost all the algorithm questions are language agnostic. This means that they can be solved by any language you prefer.
• Feel free to work alone, in a pair, or on a team! Make a friend!
• Discussing with others is highly encouraged! Make a friend!
• When presenting your solution in front of people, please use pseudo-code language (e.g. "I loop through the array and choose only the items that match the target.").
• Feel free to contribute! Put your algos into the algorithm-drafts folder.

Meetup Rules

• Be kind and considerate to everyone's questions and answers
• Be encouraging, helpful, and patient to those who have less knowledge/experience than you
• Ask questions and listen to those who have more knowledge/experience than you
• There are many ways of solving these algorithms, so please be open to other possibilities

Rating System

The higher the number, the harder the algorithm.

Algorithms are rated from 1 to 5.

Roughly speaking...

• 1 = Beginners
• 2 = Advanced Beginners
• 3 = Medium
• 4 = Advanced Medium, CS knowledge probably helps
• 5 = Headache, CS knowledge will definitely help

Resources

• Big O Complexity Cheatsheet
• Stanford's Algorithms Course on Coursera
• Algorithms and Data Structures Cheatsheet
• How to Ace an Algorithms Interview by Palantir
• How to Rock at Whiteboarding
