Master programming interviews with our comprehensive course on pointers, linked lists, algorithms, and recursion. Gain insights from industry experts to prepare effectively.
This course is your go-to guide for mastering essential programming concepts like pointers, linked lists, and recursion. With insights from industry experts, it helps you prepare for coding interviews and tackle common problems with ease. Let’s make coding fun and approachable!
A course that teaches pointers, linked lists, general programming, algorithms and recursion like no one else
Programming interviews are like standard plays in professional sport - prepare accordingly. Don't let Programming Interview gotchas get you down!
Programming interviews differ from real programming jobs in several important aspects, so they merit being treated differently, just like set pieces in sport.
Just like teams prepare for their opponent's playbooks in professional sport, it makes sense for you to approach programming interviews anticipating the interviewer's playbook
This course has been drawn by a team that has conducted hundreds of technical interviews at Google and Flipkart
What's Covered:
Pointers: Memory layout of pointers and variables, pointer arithmetic, arrays, pointers to pointers, pointers to structures, argument passing to functions, pointer reassignment and modification - complete with visuals to help you conceptualize how things work.
Strings: Strings, Character pointers, character arrays, null termination of strings, string.h function implementations with detailed explanations.
Linked lists: Visualization, traversal, creating or deleting nodes, sorted merge, reversing a linked list and many many problems and solutions, doubly linked lists.
Bit Manipulation: Work with bits and bit operations.
Sorting and searching algorithms: Visualize how common sorting and searching algorithms work and the speed and efficiency of those algorithms
Recursion: Master recursion with lots of practice! 8 common and uncommon recursive problems explained. Binary search, finding all subsets of a subset, finding all anagrams of a word, the infamous 8 Queens problem, executing dependent tasks, finding a path through a maze, implementing PaintFill, comparing two binary trees
Data Structures: Understand queues, stacks, heaps, binary trees and graphs in detail along with common operations and their complexity. Includes code for every data structure along with solved interview problems based on these data structures.
Step-by-step solutions to dozens of common programming problems: Palindromes, Game of Life, Sudoku Validator, Breaking a Document into Chunks, Run Length Encoding, Points within a distance are some of the problems solved and explained.
Know how to approach and prepare for coding interviews
Understand pointer concepts and memory management at a very deep and fundamental level
Tackle a wide variety of linked list problems and know how to get started when asked linked list questions as a part of interviews

from section 6 all the programs and examples are with java, it is highly disappointing as a fresher without knowledge in java will find this course not useful. I have viewed the initial sections as i thought everything will be in c. Now i am unable to refund as well. It should be clearly mentioned in the preview that java is used in the examples, otherwise most of the people will be disappointed.
Course is well structured and explained very well by examples and implementation. Course is more opted to junior to mid level however it helps to every one. I think it would be helpful to add more examples/explanation w.r.to real world scenarios.
~Thanks
Really very well laid out course for anyone who is planning to learn Data Structures. And this is a must for anyone who is preparing for interviews
All courses of Loony Corn I have done till date are awesome
Very good.. very very good. A lot of examples and it teaches you the fundamentals of programming, it's helping me to understand better all the languages I know.
Few hacks and tricks on how to approach a problem during coding would be helpful
The author does a good job of explaining the concepts in a clear and concise manner, and neatly follows it up with problems to highlight the real world applications of the DS/algorithms.
I only wish the author covered topics as Dynamic Programming, Backtracking and NP problems in a similar manner.
This is an outstanding course, and comes in handy with respect to building your Data Structures skills. The lessons will help you understand DS from scratch and/or refresh your knowledge in case if you have prior understanding of them.
The presentation style is really what makes the course outstanding.
Typical flow of explanation is:
1) Explain certain topic. This is more of a elaboration of what certain topic is (say selection sort or what binary tree is etc.). The use of jargon is kept at bay so that first timers don't find it difficult to grasp.
2) Then comes pictorial explanation. With use of simple pictures and animations, the point 1 is explained again to understand it better.
In fact, in most of the cases, the animations are thorough and entire algorithm is explained using animation even if it means doing some tasks which may look boring.
For example, while explaining sorting, entire algorithm is explained by creating animations that go through each step of algorithm for all 10 elements of array. This really shows the dedication of Loony Corn team to create this course.
Excellent presentation. Great examples. Well illustrated. Clear communication. Logical topics presentation sequence. Very knowledgeable instructor.

Very disappointing! Although advertised as a C course (with "some solutions given in Java"), the majority of the solutions are given in Java!!! I don't need Java and bought this course to prepare for the coding interview in C. Don't recommend buying any courses from Loony Corn (and will never take any of their courses again) as you cannot really trust their course descriptions
