#coding sample

[copingwithcoding]

7/100: I worked on a company’s coding sample in Java. I wanted to show my scratch sheet because I’m not always super neat and clean. While understanding the problem, my thoughts are messy, unorganized and my scratch sheet reflects that. But, I have some test cases. I figured out what the problem wanted and how to solve it efficiently. Then, I started coding away. It’s totally okay to be messy as long as it makes sense to you! I downloaded the Forest app on my phone and it is somewhat helpful. At the end of the night, I wrote these quotes on a sticky note because I’ve been feeling unmotivated, tired, and guilty for not working hard enough.

8/100: I finished up the company’s coding sample. But, I haven’t emailed it to them yet. I solved it in O(n^2) time because it’s significantly easier to understand and it satisfies their time and space requirements. However, I want to attempt to implement the linear solution as well.   I made myself two big! cups of coffee because I knew I had to study a lot today. I haven’t touched “Cracking the Coding Interview” prep book in like.. a month. So, it was weird starting again. But, I need to get my edge back. I’m hoping I can get through a few chapters this week and weekend.  I downloaded the Forest app on my phone the other day and initially, I thought it was somewhat helpful. But, actually, it’s really helpful!
