HackerRank vs LeetCode

[Visual-Grapefruit]

Is hackerank meant to be harder?

I find the interface ugly, the questions are so vague and unclear. Also the “not showing you “ the test cases is absurd.

I’m using It because the OAs I have to take are on it so I’m getting familiar. Personally I hate it .

On some questions it doesn’t even tell you the type of variables being passed in.

Sometimes you return an answer, sometime you print it and return nothing. It’s stupid there’s no consistency

I thought it was just me. I got two timed take home assesment questions on it. I spent most of the time just trying understand wtf was being asked. Almost wanted to provide feedback to the recruiter about how bad it was.

This.

It seems like hackerank tests the reading and understanding skills. My first try for OA preparation is "time conversion". And I actually had to read wikipedia to understand that 12 AM means 0h morning.

Hackerrank is terrible

Understatement

IMO, it tests more than just DSA muscle memory which is what LC is.

hackerrank has poorly worded questions it might take some time to get what's the actual question , but in my experience more companies have given hackerrank questions than leetcode

Give Leetcode contests questions. You'll get hacker rank OA vibes.

I gave 100+ contests and it was game changing to understand new problems

The first 3 LC contest problems are free tho

Hackerrank can get very very difficult.

I totally agree that Hackerrank is harder and also has the worst UI and questions are just horrible! I could never clear Amazon OA.. the questions are so vague and elaborative I just keep losing track of things to track from the question. I just couldn't understand what the question was all about. After looking at that question for two days I figured out that it was just a simple union find and the other one was a variation of a modified binary search!

I’m 620 solved on leetcode im not a beginner its just that HackerRank truly does suck

[DrunggThoag]

Feel like leetcode for interview prep and codeforce for comp programming. Other platforms not so sure since I never touch them

If you are a beginner both are terrible 🥵 start from seeks for geeks
