Have you ever... • Wanted to work at an exciting futuristic company? • Struggled with an interview problem that could have been solved in 15 minutes? • Wished you could study real-world computing problems? If so, you need to read Elements of Programming Interviews (EPI). The core of EPI is a collection of 300 problems with detailed solutions, including over 100 figures and 250 tested programs. The problems are challenging, well-motivated, and accessible. They are representative of the questions asked at interviews at the most exciting companies. The book begins with a summary of patterns for data structure, algorithms, and problem solving that will help you solve the most challenging interview problems. T his is followed by chapters on basic and advanced data structures, algorithm design, concurrency, system design, probability and discrete mathematics. Each chapter starts with a brief review of key concepts and results followed by a deep and wide set of questions. EPI concludes with a summary of the nontechnical aspects of interviewing, including common mistakes, strategies for a great interview, perspectives from across the table, negotiating the best offer, and much more. "This book is the best compilation of programming related problems I have seen. It is a great resource for a diverse set of topics when preparing for technical interviews, as a quick refresher in a subject area or when you are just looking for a brain teaser to chall enge yours elf."

Contains a lot of real life problems which one can think of (before reading through the solutions ;) ). Because that's how we all learn better (by trying to solve it through continuous learning by ourselves and then check how other solutions work (better or less better)

This book got me a job at Google!

Reviewed in India on 13 February 2017

Verified Purchase

There are many run of the mill coding interview books available in the market and most of them are sufficient for getting a job at any decent software company. But if you want a job at any of the Big 4: Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, you have to study this book. Specifically:

1. The problem analysis is top notch. This kind of thinking and analysis is exactly what's expected at the Big 4 interviews.
2. The coding standard in the solutions is "production grade". I have gone through many coding cram books and their solution code is simply not up to the mark. You may get a job if you code like that but you'll definitely be a desired candidate if you can get your coding chops up to the level of this books' authors.
3. The questions are not trivial. "Growth comes at the point of resistance" - If you have been solving simple Easy/Medium level problems, you'll quickly reach a point of stasis. If you want to perform at level X during your interviews, you have to train at level 2X. As someone once said, "We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." This book will have you covered in that area. The "ninja level" questions are specifically meant for this kind of training.
4. The study plan is just awesome. Don't waste your time regurgitating CLRS etc. If you are truly focused on interview survival, just choose the appropriate study plan prescribed in this book and you should be through.

All the best!

"THE BOOK" for preparing for the Programming Interviews

Reviewed in India on 5 November 2017

Verified Purchase

I have preparing for Programming Interviews for a quite some time now. I have found this book as the de facto book for preparing for the programming interviews. The problems are sorted in ascending order of difficulty which helps the student to prepare in increments. I have faced interviews in Amazon and UBER and found problems from this book in those F2F interviews. The collection is also rich with medium to hard problems with an theoretical introduction to each topic at the beginning of each chapter. Also there is a Honor Class at the end of the book which is a collection of all the Ninja problems that will give the candidate the confidence to face any interview.

Better include the language used in the book

Reviewed in India on 15 August 2021

Verified Purchase

Yes,the concept of the book is great , I thought it will be neutral to all languages but it preferred c++ to show the examples and also for explaination. Damn I can't start learning c++ to learn this book 😅.
I already fed up with Java, python ,c# and go lol.
But for those who learnt c++ they won't regret it because author planned a way better to start. Even I who don't know C++ able to understand som what with explaination. But I want to be comfortable when I learning a thing. So I returned to the seller.

The sole and only interview preparation book you'll ever need

Reviewed in France on 24 July 2017

Verified Purchase

I interviewed, phone screening and onsites, for senior software engineering positions at Google, Amazon, and Uber.
And I landed a job there.

There's virtually no way to succeed these technical interviews without a solid preparation.
The Elements of Programming Interviews does the amazing prowess of packing the entire set of topics, questions and solutions addressed during these interviews.

An outstanding feature I found is the questions' "variants": for most problems, several variants are proposed. This challenges the reader to realize that apparently different questions may yield to a similar technique and solution.
As a matter of fact, virtually all my interview questions could be related to some form of the questions or their variants.

Prepare with the book, master _all_ the questions, variants, solutions, and you will feel at home in most technical interviews, if not all. The book is dense, as it covers all the topics needed: nothing will fall in the crack, it matches exactly the level of difficulty of the technical interviews.

For what it is worth, my preparation's cocktail consisted exclusively in:
- this EPI master piece, to get all the questions/variants/answers in an interview-like presentation
- Algorithms, by Robert Sedgewick, to cover the fundamentals from an algorithmic point of view
- Codingame, to sprinkle gamification in my preparation: "puzzles" made me program practical BST, DFS, BFS; "clash of code instant competition" sharpened my instantaneous/rapid problem solving skills (a definite must for phone screenings)

And that's how I landed my target job.

I could not be more grateful to Aziz, Lee, and Prakash for this instrumental resource: its value cannot be overstated.

Worth every penny

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2018

Verified Purchase

When apply to one of the big four companies, this was an invaluable resource. There are others, one in particlar, but the format in this is more consumable to me. Also you can have one that focuses on C++ or Python solutions instead of Java, which is more approriate to some people and companies. This is no 'light read' or walk in the park. After some brief intro chapters its basically a compendium of puzzles in different topics, plus solutions. The text is quite small too but you get more in the book that way. Compared to a certain other book, I prefer the way this one explains the solution and has it in the same place, instead of in an appendix at the back. You shouldn't just go straight to the solution though so read the Q, go code and compare the result to theirs. Then figure out why theirs is better :-). If you are applying for a job at one of the big techs, you shouldn't be worried about spending dosh on books like this - good investment and I prefer the real hard copy...
Good luck with you interview.

Great investment

Reviewed in Canada on 27 November 2015

Verified Purchase

Not having a formal computer science background I found working through this book difficult but well worth the time. If you are also largely self-taught I'd recommend working through "Cracking the Coding interview" in parallel. I found the problems in CTCI a bit easier with better explanations which helped me to tackle the problems in this book.

It's a fairly dense book so I'd recommend buying it well before you intend to start interviewing and try doing a question or two a day.

I was a bit discouraged when I first started practising with these books but as I worked through them I started to enjoy the process. You eventually start seeing common patterns, become familiar with common algorithms/data structures, and get comfortable 'running' code in your head. These are not just useful interview skills. Estimating how code scales lets you judge when it's worth increasing code complexity to optimize or when a simple brute force is 'good enough' and the habit of 'running' code in you head causes potential errors to jump out at you while reading code. I'd recommend both these books for anyone interested in being a better software engineer.
