How Cracking the Coding Interview Helps?
I had already mastered DS and Algo and thought to give CTCI a try. I had the opinion what is left for me to study now! Little did I know that this book is going to be one of the most insightful books I could ever read.
I started with the thought “Let’s read the questions and I wouldn’t ever need to turn to the solution”. But guess what? I spent about 25–40 minutes on every question and its solutions that the book has provided. I knew the solution to most of the problems but the solutions in the book were so different that it helped me improve my problem-solving skills. One such example is this. I still like to read it sometimes and find it amusing. I don’t think there is any other book that can teach us so much as this one book.
I would definitely recommend it to every person who is going through his/her journey of learning DSA and especially to those who are preparing for their interviews. It’s worth every dime and all your time.
P.S.: I had brought the Indian Edition, as it was much cheaper than the original one and didn’t have any major differences from the latter.
