I know this community is a big fan of leetcode, but I see lot of companies adopting hackerrank as a platform for coding interviews. Assuming there is functional parity between these two websites, which one is better and why?
Hacker rank description is like a story and 99% written by a kid who does ACM icpc
Hackerrank is more focused on reading comprehension
Yes, hackerrank is for serious coding competitions, leetcode is great for job interviews. Though there is an overlap, they serve two very different purposes!
I consider myself the smartest of the smartest and even I couldn't figure out how to successfully submit a solution on that platform
I think companies use hacker rank cause the codepair tool works well. Not cause it’s awesome for those who want to practice for interviews.
Leetcode is super set of hacker rank TC 165 k 1yr experience
Hackerrank questions are too verbose and I found them hard to understand.... Questions are really vague and doesn't really make sense what they're even asking
Also the console in/out on Hackerrank is super annoying
Leetcode is for interviewee to prepare. HackerRank/CodePair is for interviewer to give.
Leetcode, hackerrank is too much verbose
