Learn and practice the Two Pointers, Fast and Slow Pointers, and Modified Binary Search patterns to solve coding interview problems.

Grokking Grind 75 in C++: Mastery through Coding Patterns

Mastering the fundamentals of programming and problem-solving is the first step towards effectively addressing a diverse range of challenges. This module covers foundational programming skills such as basic math operations, string manipulation, and data type conversions. Additionally, it helps us understand the significance of carefully reading and comprehending problem statements because sometimes it’s all about spotting hidden details, special rules, or unusual situations mentioned in them. The module also explores common problem-solving patterns for linear input data: Two Pointers, Fast and Slow Pointers, and Modified Binary Search. These patterns efficiently reduce the search space, following a divide-and-conquer approach. By the end of the module, we’ll have a solid foundation in programming and problem-solving techniques to address various challenges.
