Takeaway Skills
A deep understanding of the essential patterns behind common dynamic programming interview questions—without having to drill endless problem sets
The ability to identify and apply the underlying pattern in an interview question by assessing the problem statement
Familiarity with dynamic programming techniques with hands-on practice in a setup-free coding environment
The ability to efficiently evaluate the tradeoffs between time and space complexity in different solutions
A flexible conceptual framework for solving any dynamic programming question, by connecting problem characteristics and possible solution techniques
Course Overview
Some of the toughest questions in technical interviews require dynamic programming solutions. Dynamic programming (DP) is an advanced optimization technique applied to recursive solutions. However, DP is not a one-size-fits-all technique, and it requires practice to develop the ability to identify the underlying DP patterns. With a strategic approach, coding interview prep for DP problems shouldn’t take more than a few weeks. This course starts with an introduction to DP and thoroughly discusses five DP pa...
