Course Description

Programming interviews are like standard plays in professional sport - prepare accordingly. Don't let Programming Interview gotchas get you down!

Programming interviews differ from real programming jobs in several important aspects, so they merit being treated differently, just like set pieces in sport. Just like teams prepare for their opponent's playbooks in professional sport, it makes sense for you to approach programming interviews anticipating the interviewer's playbookThis course has been drawn by a team that has conducted hundreds of technical interviews at Google and Flipkart

What's Covered:

Pointers: Memory layout of pointers and variables, pointer arithmetic, arrays, pointers to pointers, pointers to structures, argument passing to functions, pointer reassignment and modification - complete with visuals to help you conceptualize how things work.
Strings: Strings, Character pointers, character arrays, null termination of strings, string.
h function implementations with detailed explanations.
Linked lists: Visualization, traversal, creating or deleting nodes, sorted merge, reversing a linked list and many many problems and solutions, doubly linked lists.
Bit Manipulation: Work with bits and bit operations.
Sorting and searching algorithms: Visualize how common sorting and searching algorithms work and the speed and efficiency of those algorithmsRecursion: Master recursion with lots of practice! 8 common and uncommon recursive problems explained. Binary search, finding all subsets of a subset, finding all anagrams of a word, the infamous 8 Queens problem, executing dependent tasks, finding a path through a maze, implementing PaintFill, comparing two binary treesData Structures: Understand queues, stacks, heaps, binary trees and graphs in detail along with common operations and their complexity. Includes code for every data structure along with solved interview problems based on these data structures.
Step-by-step solutions to dozens of common programming problems: Palindromes, Game of Life, Sudoku Validator, Breaking a Document into Chunks, Run Length Encoding, Points within a distance are some of the problems solved and explained.
Who this course is for:
YEP! New engineering graduate students who are interviewing for software engineering jobsYEP! Professionals from other fields with some programming knowledge looking to change to a software roleYEP! Software professionals with several years of experience who want to brush up on core conceptsNOPE! Other technology related professionals who are looking for a high level overview of pointer concepts.

Course is well structured and explained very well by examples and implementation. Course is more opted to junior to mid level however it helps to every one. I think it would be helpful to add more examples/explanation w.r.to real world scenarios.
~Thanks

All courses of Loony Corn I have done till date are awesome

By Sabal Prasain on 5/27/2020

I am having an amazing experience taking this course !

By Pratik Chougule on 4/14/2020

its too slow, doesnt have much interactive diagrams as told

By Rushali Agrawal on 4/12/2020

Few hacks and tricks on how to approach a problem during coding would be helpful

By Adrian Marcelo Morales on 4/11/2020

Very good.. very very good. A lot of examples and it teaches you the fundamentals of programming, it's helping me to understand better all the languages I know.

By Torrence Payseno on 3/19/2020

good introduction. I am excited to continue into the rest of the course

By Madhusudan on 1/11/2020

The author does a good job of explaining the concepts in a clear and concise manner, and neatly follows it up with problems to highlight the real world applications of the DS/algorithms.
I only wish the author covered topics as Dynamic Programming, Backtracking and NP problems in a similar manner.

By Greg Parsons on 11/18/2019

This is the real deal. Programmer with 7 years of experience. They are very knowledgeable and their content shows.
Thank you!

By Josejohny on 10/16/2019

The course gave me a clear understanding of data structure and algorithms....And broadend my knowledge.

By Angus Steele on 9/4/2019

Really enjoying the course and the lectures. As a non-novice I feel even more prepared for a software interview.
