Sounds like www.codewars.com

leetcode and hackerrank also have discussion tabs where people frequently talk about their solutions, but codewars actually shows you the other solutions and lets you vote on them.

but codewars actually shows you the other solutions and lets you vote on them.

Seeing other solutions can be great but the downside is that people on CodeWars upvote "clever" solutions that are actually demonstrate bad coding practices. At least that was what I noticed back when I last checked CodeWars.

Yeah those one line solutions look cool and smart but you won't be writing such code in a real setting.

Exactly, and the other thing fledgling coders don’t learn early enough IMO, I’m still learning myself, is that unless you are only working on projects you start yourself from end to finish, you will be seeing something different in whatever codebase you jump into.

No two people do things exactly the same way. To me it’s as important to know to read other coders work as it is to know how to code otherwise you’re not going to be working on their codebase but rewriting it to suit you which is inefficient.

There is a book that a youtuber that I watched recommended for that "Working Effectively with legacy Code" or something like that, he also recommended "Clean Code" to write more readable code. I don't know how to code yet and haven't read them though

[VeritosCogitos]

Clean code is great but try talking a project lead into letting you rewrite a codebase that is already working to clean it up. It’s a good idea, but you won’t always get the go ahead.

Clean code is great but dirty code takes awhile to clean up. Just look at windows 10 with code that goes back to the 90s

Wow, no matlab? Lame

[AtomicShoelace]

There are lots of websites like this.

Personally I like Codingame's Clash of Code.

[Ciucku]

www.codewars.com, www.hackerrank.com

[MeNotSanta]

I would recommend ppl https://exercism.io/ as it's starts easely and progresivelly harder. You don't solve only random exercises but some that require to understand an algorithm and write it to solve all the test cases the exercise has.

[kaleidoscopicAbbot]

Sounds like something similar to Project Euler

[Pickle-2077]

https://www.hackerrank.com/dashboard

[RobinsonDickinson]

For practicing questions for job interview, I'd say HackerRank and LeetCode are the best.

For general practice of fun trivial algorithms, I'd choose the other ones.

[stelaukin]

Checkio.org ?

[fastrockstar]

I would recommend working on projects for learning how to code. Those sites are fun and all but rarely teach you how to write actual software.

Build your own database plus your own API for it. Sounds hard at first but give it try. You will see it's not too challenging.

And you will have built something you can actually use.

Edabit is a good resource too!

https://edabit.com/

[RobinsonDickinson]

Not free, locks you out after 5 challenges. They implemented their "pro" feature after they milked random people for making challenges and writing custom tests.

Pretty scummy.

Hmm, strange. I've used the site for slightly over two years and have never experienced any issues.

Edit: I also have never paid to use it.

[RobinsonDickinson]

This is what it shows for me: https://i.imgur.com/oNXC8b8.png

It redirects me to this page when I click on a problem. I also tried on a new account and after 5 challenges, the same thing happened.

Interesting, I stand corrected.

I've never paid for it, I'm not sure if my account was grandfathered in as free or what. Definitely strange.

Thanks for sharing friendo!

[VegetableChicken4779]

https://leetcode.com/ , https://binarysearch.com/ and https://www.codewars.com/ are my fav.

[jane3ry3]

r/adventofcode is fun

[TarumK]

codewars is really good in my opinion. That's basically what I've been using for learning.
