Practicing Real Interview Thinking Solved a palindrome problem today — without using reverse. At first, I thought checking first and last character is enough. But I realized the correct approach is to compare characters from both ends step by step. This changed my thinking: Interview problems are not about complexity, but about correct logic. Small problems → Big learning. #Java #ProblemSolving #InterviewPrep #LearningInPublic

Coding interviews aren’t about solving random problems. They’re about recognizing patterns... .... If you focus on the right patterns, preparation becomes much easier. Here are some important ones to cover: 1. Sliding Window → Longest Substring with K Distinct Characters 2. Intervals → Merge Overlapping Intervals 3. Two Pointers → Container With Most Water 4. Subsets / Substrings → Maximum Subarray 5. Palindromes → Longest Palindromic Substring 6. Dynamic Programming (Decision Making) → Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock You don’t need to solve 100s of problems. Focus on understanding these patterns deeply, and you’ll be able to tackle a wide range of questions. Good luck with your upcoming Interview ❤️

Let’s push a little deeper 👇 Arrays — sounds easy, but most people mess this up in interviews. 👉 What does this print? int[] arr = new int[3]; System.out.println(arr[0]); 👉 And this one? int[] a = {1, 2, 3}; int[] b = a; b[0] = 100; System.out.println(a[0]); 👉 Also: - Are arrays stored in stack or heap? - Are they primitives or objects? If you get all of this right without hesitation, you're ahead of most candidates. Drop answers — no cheating 🙂 #Java #InterviewPrep #Programming

One of my favorite interview questions is simple on the surface: - Why do we use context managers in Python? Almost instantly, the answer comes: So we don’t have to close connections manually. It auto-closes them. Fair. But then I take it one step further: Why do we need to close connections at all? Why not just leave them open? That’s where things get interesting. Some candidates pause. Some say: It’s not a good practice to leave things open. And I push again: But why is it not a good practice? Because there has to be a reason… right? Only a handful go deeper and talk about: - Limited system resources - File descriptors - Connection/socket limits managed by the OS And that’s the moment you can clearly see the difference. 💡 Context managers (`with` statement) are not just about cleaner syntax. They ensure deterministic resource management, releasing critical resources like files, sockets, and locks as soon as they’re no longer needed. Sometimes, it’s not about what you know… but how far you can go when someone asks “why?” Follow Hitesh Garg for more 🫡 #python #interviews #backend

🚀 Day 4 – Daily DSA Challenge A quick check on your fundamentals can make a big difference in interviews.

Hey #dev, still afraid of #codechallenge? Hmmm... maybe this will help you in #job #interviews, especially if it’s in #Rust. I saw a post by Ashish Pratap Singh on LinkedIn about top #leetcode problems you should study, and, since I had already written implementations in Rust for almost all of these types of problems, I decided to create this page with explanations and source code. I had to add two or three more, but it turned out really great for you, who are studying for job interviews. Coming next: #Golang, #python, and #typescript versions. Here my repo: https://lnkd.in/df8-z4pz Follow me for more content like this one.

DSA is the one skill that still decides the outcome of your interviews. Your years of experience in tech won’t help clear the interview… but your problem-solving depth will! That’s exactly why I’m sharing this “Zero to Advance in DSA” 30 Days Challenge doc. Big thanks to Bosscoder Academy for putting this together 🙌 #datastructures hashtag #algorithms hashtag #collab hashtag #coding hashtag #programming

This week's interview challenge was Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters. Here’s the problem in its usual form: Given a string s, return the length of the longest substring without repeating characters. This one shows up in FAANG screens because it tests: * Whether you can recognize a variable-size sliding window pattern. * How you manage state: hash map vs. set vs. fixed-size array, and when “O(1) space” actually matters. * If you can argue 𝑂(𝑛) time in a way that convinces an interviewer who’s seen this 500+ times. I just posted a challenge review with: * A clean reference solution in Java, Python, and C#. * Side-by-side implementations using a character array, hash map, and set, with trade-offs for each. * A paid-only add-on on how interviewers really grade this question: the explanation patterns that separate “LeetCode grinder” from “strong hire.” 🔗 Read it all here: [Substack link]
