I’m starting with the various sorting algorithms. What else should I focus on? #data #datascience

    Heaps, trees, and … yo! TC!?!
    Not being an ass—total comp reveals are the social currency of Blind. TC and insider gossip is the incentive to even be on blind for a lot of people. Don’t be shy :)

    Look at the table of contents of EPI or CTCI.. that should good you a good overview of datastructures and algorithms.
    The more important data structure is the one you don't know yet

      I mean this in a really nice way -

      Guys in Amazon, is it something like you honed your skills before Amazon interview, and then with time you lost your touch?

      Yes. I'm not a gifted person. I think quite linearly and was a decent student any nothing out of the ordinary. So for me I find it more like a muscle. You strengthen only by using it. I didn't for several years and lost touch.
      Got comfortable and lost the edge but will gain it back. Just need to persist longer and harder than most
