Dynamic programming is very important in Indian SWE interviews. You will get atleast 1 DP in any one of the rounds. Its usually some variations of LCS or Buy and Sell stocks. I think top 10 most important are: Array, Matrix, Hashing Two pointer & Sliding window Tree Graph DP LinkedList Heap Merge intervals Prefix sum Some variation of binary search
In indian interviews, Do you usually get at least a lean hire or hire if you solve the problem with the naive approach but were not able to optimise it?
As a recent CS graduate struggling to find an entry level job, finding this video was very helpful. Subscribed and can't wait to see your future videos!
Thank you Aman, please do not stop making TH-cam videos, your videos are great. im now doing like 10 problems a day, and 1 mock interview with a friend every week!
Spend 5 mins thinking of a solution, 20 mins trying to implement if you cant solve by then, check solutions, repeat problem till you get a hang of it. RINSE AND REPEAT. Simple as that no need to sped the 20mins watching this video. This will work to speed run understanding easy to medium problems. Dont worry about hard problems, when companies give this they are not concerned about implementation correctness, rather, your thinking process leading up to the solutions. So if you want to attempt hard level problems, do so without feeling the need to have a correct implementation, but the approach should be reasonable.
I am a Computer Science student who has recently delved into studying LeetCode. With a data structures class approaching, I find it amusing how there is a proliferation of LeetCode courses being promoted. While I understand the appeal, the way in which these courses are marketed can be off-putting. Not everyone aspires to work for big tech companies like Google or Amazon. The fear of missing out (FOMO) tactics used in marketing seem to be luring in many CS students.
Thanks bruh, most of the things you said seem to resonate with me. I had a hard time figuring out leetcode then solving problems, then I promised myself to do better and I did almost 300 probs and lost motivation cuz, I wasn't able to solve mediums consistently your video helped me get back on track.
I want to set up a club, but I am not a college student. i passed out in 2021 in mechanical engineering in Delhi India. around till 1.5 years i tried different things, like preparing for masters, mba, for government exams etc. until i started to learn how to code. for one year i learnt all these different technologies through an online certificate course. Its been almost 2 months since that was over. have been applying consistently to jobs, trying leetcode. But i jave not been able to come up with a routine and stick to it. i am turning 25, 3 years since graduation and no job experience yet. It's my own fault wasting my time overthinking, but i keep trying to do stuff. I feel i don't know what I am doing half the time. i do not knoe anyone else who is in my situation. so for now, I prepare alone.
I did 2 google interviews, both were leetcode hards (DP), both didn’t go through. Maybe I got unlucky, but I think 10% isn’t enough. This was for a regular sde role, nothing senior
I have a 50% chance at solving hards. But I am obsessed with algorithms and am trying to master them. One of these days, I will get married to data structures and algorithms ❤. But I’m honestly not an engineer. I am an applied mathematician at heart.
Students can solve leetcode problems, given that this is pretty well known thing, starting for 1st year, in a year or two, there is so much time in the world. Senior devs got it the worst, the part where you have to rediscover the understandings of some problems, coz out of practice for years at stretch.
I am a bootcamp graduate who has been struggling to get a job. It was made known to me by a recruiter that my leetcode skills were the thing that holds me back. There are companies where you get a leetcode problem before you ever talk to a human being.
Both could be true but if he was passing the leetcodes they were giving him then you could claim it’s just the bootcamp. But seems like he’s getting the leetcodes and not passing them
Haha me having an interview in 2 weeks: Oh cool, I'll knock these 150 neetcode problems to get ready. Lmao!!!! Just ended up questioning whether or not I was a complete idiot over the last few days.😅
Bro, your videos helped me a lot in improving my coding . Your notion template on Leetcode i am still using which was super helpful 🙏 This was another great video as always 🙏 Thanks for sharing the FREE leetCode Roadmap ❤🤗
Are you still working with Captain Sinbad? How does he help you if you’re in the SWE space and he’s not? Also, I’m really bullish on your growth. Keep up the good work.
Just because a problem doesn't have a solution doesn't mean we should fallback to the "Game". If everyone becomes a conformist, that leaves no room for creativity.
I'm currently applying for the ml engineer position, and during the interview, they asked at most two leetcode type questions. Most of the interview is over hour of questions about ml algorithms, so leetcode is not that important overall. I'm pretty sure that the other positions it is similar.
Array as a topic is very ambiguous term , what do you mean by array , everything and anything comes under array excluding non-linear DS , so we cannot generalize it .
there is definitely something going on with your email deliveries, man. i had to submit the form twice before i could get the pdf. and yes, i did check promotions, social, spam, and junk. as soon as i submitted my email again, i got the email to confirm my subscription and then the email to download the pdf.
Please check your spam and promotions tab for a confirmation email that will ask to confirm your subscription - if you still don't find it, try entering your name + email again. Finally, if that doesn't work, email me at hi@manazir.org and I'll send you the PDF directly. Thanks!
I have a question? Can you use Sudo code to solve some of these Leet Code problems. Using Sudo code and AI so you are language independent. You understand the concept and generate the syntax using AI?
Why? The whole point is to get used to a real world language, which you are gonna be using at your future work. Start off with Python, basically it’s called the executable pseudo code
I think seudocode is brilliant. Its basically his pen and paper step. Its really really important to to be able to think through problems in english. That concept was invented by Grace Hopper, and she is why we don't code in binary.
So on the Pareto problem set what do the blue numbers mean? They are not unique and they don’t seem to match leetcode problem numbers…. How do I find the leetcode problem you are referencing?
is leetcode premium worth buying? I am a first year university student starting this fall and I have 5 years of coding experience but barely any with leetcode. I have done like less than 10 problems on leetcode. Some advise would be appreciated 🙏
Always remember, getting good at leetcode is doing just that. It's getting better at leetcode. It doesn't necessarily make you a good dev at a company.
Hi i'm a senior in high school. my college is going to teach c++. is this good? i want to know because i see everyone recommend java and python. i want to get some experience before entering college should practice c++ or some other language?
Yoo me too,i graduated last year I'm 17 I know python and a lil of java I'm been doing python leetcode questions though,and been taking free cs50 courses from Harvard on TH-cam, But I'll recommend starting with python,and if you have a good understanding on python then basically you'll understand java,but since your uni is gonna do c++ and you wanna be ahead of others I recommend doing c++ learn the basic of c++ then python,then java
This guy is completely wrong. It doesn't make any good if you learn the most frequent questions and your own interview has one of the less frequent questions! That's why you need to practice as many as possible, not just the ones in a particular list.

@@daruiraikage in 2 problems you need to optimize 1 problem and brute force for other can help in for next round
They smart cuz gpt can’t solve em well 😅
thats why indian companies suck and the country is hell... lol
Also to get grasp of trees or graphs or even DP you need to get really good in recursion so yeah need to do that also
I found that non-fang companies will tend to ask DP problems more often
Great video, thank you
DP problems were asked in my Meta interview and it was from top 150 overall problems. DP is a must.
From top 150 interview questions or NC 150 ?

Thank you Aman, please do not stop making TH-cam videos, your videos are great. im now doing like 10 problems a day, and 1 mock interview with a friend every week!
You motivated me to start, so I did 2 Sum, solved it brute force. Now I know I need to learn about hash maps, and std::vector. Bless you brother ❤️
after doing a few leetcodes now i realize why hashmaps are the answer to everything xD

You are not alone. There’s many others out there in same situation
Bruh. Why clickbait tho? You're NOT top 0.1%
if you need an unfair way to get good at just doing leetcode... you're certainly doing something wrong
He used the unfair way to get views
Data science lead here. These problems help you think and solve problem. That's all.
I mean maybe in data science this applies less, but it is absolutely useful for getting a job as SWE.
Thank you a lot for all your free ressources, big up from France
4:40-6:50 Golden advice
Man, your video quality is skyrocketing. I really admire the effort you put into producing this informative video.

F
Well! Mine were crazier. Related to quad trees, kd-trees, and maximum bipartite graph based.
These were too much for my little knowledge on dsa.
I have a 50% chance at solving hards. But I am obsessed with algorithms and am trying to master them. One of these days, I will get married to data structures and algorithms ❤. But I’m honestly not an engineer. I am an applied mathematician at heart.
You can also not want to be broke, and also not give in to what companies want. Some people do leet code for fun :D they're great puzzles
awesome perspective, wish more people understood this
Thank you such an insightful video!!
why you holding hair dryer for straight 23 minutes????????
😂😂
😂😂😂
His hair maybe wet
Every interviewer in my recent Google interview asked a DP problem
Sorry what means DP?

I feel like in this day and age, if you can't solve a Leetcode Hard in 15-20 minutes, you're screwed
Leetcode is for losers. No value
Well good news, it's not true. Almost no one can solve Hards quickly.
That’s good cuz no one can either
Lmao
"U feel"
But not true. Most can't
Not really

I say DP is a must!
DP is a category, that takes time to build intuition, so start early.
Just because a problem doesn't have a solution doesn't mean we should fallback to the "Game". If everyone becomes a conformist, that leaves no room for creativity.
Aman gonna get everyone a job this year
Great video!
Leetcode 42 my favorite 😢 it made the video ❤
Lowkey your channel is so underrated!
Bro lot of love from India!! You should also consider Striver. His sheet's are also one of the best.😄
Very useful content
it better to talk about codeforces over leetcode, I have personally observed problems coming in codeforces are more challenging compared to leetcode.
I'm currently applying for the ml engineer position, and during the interview, they asked at most two leetcode type questions. Most of the interview is over hour of questions about ml algorithms, so leetcode is not that important overall. I'm pretty sure that the other positions it is similar.
bro, thank u
