AV C++ Prep

Aug 7, 2018 10 Comments

Not coming from a dev background and I need to self teach myself some software. I also have a Google interview postponed and had started going through an Algorithms book and hackerrank in Python. Now I'm thinking I should just switch to C++ and kill two birds with one stone.

I was told to get a C++ book to go through and to just practice writing code and doing some leetcode. Does anyone have e practice tips or C++ book recs?

    Prep using this book titled "elements of programming interviews". Pick up the C++ version and the Python version of the book. It contains the exact same set of questions in the same order. You'll understand what data structures to use in c++ and other subtle differences when you look at both solutions side by side!

    C++ has a steep learning curve. Focus on one language and get good at it.

    I’ve an EE background and I’ve recently started learning C++ myself. I find geeksforgeeks, interviewbit ( for algo & dc concept videos) codewars ( while starting out) and leetcode to be good

  • If you’re coming from a dev background I’d try C++ for java developers. If you’re not just learn about pointers. Stanford has good resources on that (blinkey). But even then learning pointers might be tough. If the place is cruise just do it in python. Don’t fake a skill you don’t have

      Has to be c++. I told the guy I talked to that I needed time to learn it on my own and he understood. They're more interested in the domain expertise with the ability to do some production quality code.
