Introduction and Constraints
Explore how to identify problem constraints in algorithm design, including data types, input size, and unique problem details. Understand why gathering requirements before coding is essential to creating efficient solutions in technical interviews.
Introduction
Theoretical understanding of the algorithm is essential, but it is insufficient. To solve any algorithm design problem, we’ll use the five-step strategy outlined below:
- Constraints
- Ideas Generation
- Complexities
- Coding
- Testing
Let’s discuss constraints in detail.
Constraints
Knowing the algorithms and constructing a decent computing framework isn’t enough to solve a technological problem. In technical interviews, the interviewer is interested in seeing how you ...
