🚀 How to Use This Repository

For Interview Preparation

1. Mock interview practice: Use problems as interview questions
2. Pattern recognition: Group problems by algorithmic patterns
3. Code review: Analyze solutions for clarity and efficiency
4. Follow-up questions: Consider edge cases and variations

💡 Problem-Solving Framework

Use this approach for every problem:

1. 🔍 Understand

• Read the problem twice
• Identify inputs, outputs, and constraints
• Work through examples manually

2. 🎯 Plan

• Identify the algorithmic pattern
• Choose appropriate data structures
• Consider time/space complexity

3. ⚡ Implement

• Write clean, readable code
• Add meaningful comments
• Handle edge cases

4. 🧪 Test

• Verify with provided examples
• Test edge cases
• Consider performance with large inputs

5. 🔧 Optimize

• Can you improve time complexity?
• Can you reduce space usage?
• Is the code readable and maintainable?

🎯 Interview Tips

Before the Interview

• Practice regularly: Solve 1-2 problems daily
• Time management: Practice under time pressure
• Communication: Explain your thought process clearly
• Edge cases: Always consider boundary conditions

During the Interview

• Ask clarifying questions: Understand requirements fully
• Think out loud: Share your reasoning process
• Start simple: Get a working solution first, then optimize
• Test your solution: Walk through examples

📝 Notes

• All solutions are implemented in TypeScript
• Code follows clean coding principles and best practices
• Problems are sourced from CodeByte

Happy Coding! 🎉 Remember, consistent practice is key to interview success. Focus on understanding patterns rather than memorizing solutions.
