Popular Coding Challenge Lists
In the software engineer interview prep community, several well-known coding challenge lists have been curated to help candidates practice essential problem-solving techniques. These lists typically cover a broad range of commonly asked interview questions, focusing on fundamental data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving patterns.
While it is unlikely that you will encounter these exact questions in an interview, working through them can significantly improve your ability to get familiar with the basic algorithms and data structures, recognize patterns, develop efficient solutions, and adapt to variations of these problems. By practicing systematically, you can build the confidence and skills necessary to tackle new challenges under time constraints.
The following section includes some of the most popular coding challenge lists, with each problem linked to the corresponding chapter in this book.
Since this book is still a work in progress, not all problems from these lists are covered. Those that are not yet included will be omitted for maintenance's sake.
