In this video, I conduct an easy Google coding interview with Ben Awad, a software engineer and tech RU-vidr. As a Google Software Engineer, I interviewed dozens of candidates. This is an easier version of the type of coding interview that you would get at Google or any other big tech company.

@GodofStories Год назад

@@jomalomal you're confusing the meaning of a "beginner" to programming to the meaning of knowing how to study particular coding problems like reversing a linked list. I might have studied linked lists in a college class. But programming for 5 years + earning more than 6 figures. I have never needed to know how to reverse a linked list. But once I looked at the problem, studied it and learnt it fully within a couple hours. So I'm saying you're confusing studying leetcode questions to being a beginner to coding. You can program without knowing a lot of these questions like inverting a binary tree. All those questions only show you know how to study for an exam. Ben is clearly not a beginner, he's programmed a lot. He just didn't take time to study those Leetcode questions

For whatever reason linked lists are so confusing to me compared to other data structures. Seeing that it even made Ben have to really think about it makes me feel somewhat better about myself

@Dyanosis Год назад

LinkedLists are exactly what you think the are. They're Lists that refer to their elements by links. If you think about how Arrays work under the hood, they're LinkedLists, but only in memory. Meaning the Array knows where each element is due to its place in memory. If you're confused by LinkedLists, you must be really confused by DoublyLinkedLists then. Which is just a List where each Node knows it prev and next. Did a project in school where we built Google's ranking system using DoublyLinkedLists, it was easy and made total sense.

I didn't know what inverting a binary tree was and once I saw that diagram, I immediately got the solution(same as what Ben did). Also, using multiple assignment is shorter tree.left, tree.right = tree.right, tree.left.

@Dyanosis Год назад

tree.left, tree.right = tree.right, tree.left will be incorrect because tree.left will not be what you want to set tree.right to. You still need a "temp" var to hold tree.left before you set tree.right. But yes, multiple assignment (for languages that understand it, is useful here).

inverted binary should be reversing all the numbers where head now points to the last record which is the highest number and the last record at the bottom should be pointing to 1. This binary tree problem is instead called flipping the left and right nodes of a binary tree

@Remy2Stronk 3 года назад

What I would have done is found the middle most index, then Create an array with indexes = to the previous one Find distance from middleIndex to each point in the list If currentIndex < middleIndex then add 2 x difference from currentIndex to middleIndex If currentIndex > middleIndex then subtract 2 x different from currentIndex to middleIndex Take those values from the first array, then shove them in the index in the new array that we got from the previous equation, iterated thru the entire first array
