interactive-coding-challenges
============

**Interactive, test-driven coding challenges**.

Challenges focus on **algorithms** and **data structures** that are typically found in **coding interviews** or **coding competitions**.

Each challenge has one or more reference solutions that are:
* Fully functional
* Unit tested
* Easy-to-understand

Notebooks also detail:
* Constraints
* Test cases
* Algorithms
* Big-O time and space complexities

## Challenge Solutions

<br/>

## Notebook Structure

Each challenge has two notebooks, a **challenge notebook** for you to solve and a **solution notebook** for reference.

### Problem Statement

* States the problem to solve.

### Constraints

* Describes any constraints or assumptions.

### Test Cases

* Describes the general and edge test cases that will be evaluated in the unit test.

### Algorithm

* [Challenge Notebook] Empty, refer to the solution notebook algorithm section if you need a hint.
* [Solution Notebook] One or more algorithm solution discussions, with Big-O time and space complexities.

### Code (Challenge: Implement Me!)

* [Challenge Notebook] Skeleton code for you to implement.
* [Solution Notebook] One or more reference solutions.

### Unit Test

* [Challenge Notebook] Unit test for your code.  Expected to fail until you solve the challenge.
* [Solution Notebook] Unit test for the reference solution(s).

## Future Development

Challenges, solutions, and unit tests are presented in the form of **IPython/Jupyter Notebooks**.

* Notebooks currently contain mostly Python solutions, but can be extended to include [44 supported languages](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-other-languages)
* Repo will be **continually updated** with new solutions and challenges
