## April 2017 - Huge Update!
|
|
|
|
[**Overhauled**](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/pull/153) to now include **120 challenges and solutions** and added [Anki Flash Cards](#anki-flashcards-coding-and-design).
|
|
|
|
Also included are **unit tested reference implementations** of various [data structures](#reference-implementations-data-structures) and [algorithms](#reference-implementations-algorithms).
|
|
|
|

|
|
============
|
|
|
|
**Continually updated, interactive and test-driven coding challenges**.
|
|
|
|
Challenges focus on **algorithms** and **data structures** found in **coding interviews**.
|
|
|
|
Each challenge has one or more reference solutions that are:
|
|
|
|
* Fully functional
|
|
* Unit tested
|
|
* Easy-to-understand
|
|
|
|
Challenges will soon provide on-demand [incremental hints](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/issues/22) to help you arrive at the optimal solution.
|
|
|
|
Notebooks also detail:
|
|
|
|
* Constraints
|
|
* Test cases
|
|
* Algorithms
|
|
* Big-O time and space complexities
|
|
|

## Notebook Structure
|
|
|
|
Each challenge has two notebooks, a **challenge notebook** with unit tests 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.
|
|
|
|
### Hints
|
|
|
|
* [Challenge Notebook] Provides on-demand [incremental hints](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/issues/22) to help you arrive at the optimal solution. Coming soon!
|
|
|
|
### Code (Challenge: Implement Me!)
|
|
|
|
* [Challenge Notebook] Skeleton code for you to implement.
|
|
* [Solution Notebook] One or more reference solutions.
|

## Notebook Installation
|
|
|
|
### IPython Notebook
|
|
|
|
If you already have Python installed and are familiar with installing packages, you can get IPython Notebook with pip:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install "ipython[notebook]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you run into an issue about pyzmq, refer to the following [Stack Overflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24995438/pyzmq-missing-when-running-ipython-notebook) and run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip uninstall ipython
|
|
pip install "ipython[all]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As an alternative, you can also use the provided ```requirements.txt``` file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For detailed instructions, scripts, and tools to more optimally set up your development environment, check out the [dev-setup](https://github.com/donnemartin/dev-setup) repo.
|
|
|
|
For more details on notebook installation, follow the directions [here](http://ipython.org/install.html).
|
|
|
|
More information on IPython/Jupyter Notebooks can be found [here](http://ipython.org/notebook.html).
|
|
|
|
### Nose Tests
|
|
|
|
Install nose using setuptools/distribute:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
easy_install nose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install nose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More information on Nose can be found [here](https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
|
|
|
|
## Running Challenges
|
|
|
|
### Notebooks
|
|
|
|
Challenges are provided in the form of **IPython/Jupyter Notebooks** and have been **tested with Python 2.7 and Python 3.x**.
|
|
|
|
*If you need to install IPython/Jupyter Notebook, see the [Notebook Installation](#notebook-installation) section.*
|
|
|
|
* This README contains links to [nbviewer](http://nbviewer.ipython.org), which hosts **static notebooks** of the repo's contents
|
|
* To interact with or to modify elements within the **dynamic notebooks**, refer to the instructions below
|
|
|
|
Run the notebook of challenges:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges.git
|
|
$ cd interactive-coding-challenges
|
|
$ jupyter notebook
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will launch your web browser with the list of challenge categories:
|
|
|
|
* Navigate to the **Challenge Notebook** you wish to solve
|
|
* Run the cells within the challenge notebook (Cell->Run All)
|
|
* This will result in an expected unit test error
|
|
* Solve the challenge and verify it passes the unit test
|
|
* Check out the accompanying **Solution Notebook** for further discussion
|
|
|
|
To **debug** your solution with pdb, refer to the following [ticket](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/issues/11).
|
|
|
|
Note: If your solution is different from those listed in the Solution Notebook, consider submitting a pull request so others can benefit from your work. Review the [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Future Development
|
|
|
|
Challenges, solutions, and unit tests are presented in the form of **IPython/Jupyter Notebooks**.
|
|
|
|
* Notebooks currently contain mostly Python solutions (tested on both Python 2.7 and Python 3.x), but can be extended to include [40+ supported languages](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-other-languages)
|
|
* Repo will be **continually updated** with new solutions and challenges
|
|
* [Contributions](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) are welcome!
