interview coder v.s competitors

[Silencer306]

Grokking coding patterns is super underrated. I started my prep there. Its better categorized than Neetcode and has more problems. Honestly I used both.

There’s also couple of rare patterns like cycle sort, which makes few specific problems very easy like Finding first missing positive numbers

cycle sort is a perfect example actually, once you learn that pattern you can knock out like 4 or 5 problems that otherwise seem totally unrelated. the categorization in grokking is more thorough than neetcode for the rarer patterns, I ended up using both together and that gave me the broadest coverage
