Product Description
Algorithms For Interviews (AFI) aims to help engineers interviewing for software development positions as well as their interviewers. AFI consists of 174 solved algorithm design problems. It covers core material, such as searching and sorting; general design principles, such as graph modeling and dynamic programming; advanced topics, such as strings, parallelism and intractability. It also covers system design, problem solving, and interviewing techniques. AFI's authors are practicing algorithmists, with extensive academic and industrial experience. They have collectively published over 100 articles on applied algorithms, applied their skills at Google, Microsoft, IBM, Qualcomm, and a number of smaller software startups, and conducted many job interviews for various computer science jobs.
Customer Reviews & Comments I have read the book till page 19 and already found tons of bugs in the provided solution.
On page 15, the author laughed at "Jon Bentley" b/c there is a bug in his book without correction for twenty years. Now, in this book, on page 110, the author immediately followed the same mistake. So how careless they are.
Solution on page 119 for question 1.16 is just pure wrong.
The font used in this book is too small to read comfortably. Why waste so much papers for those useless cartoon pictures, simply increase the font size and make it more reader friendly.
I also agree on one of the points indicated by another reviewer that the authors just simply include some old questions from other books and put into this book in a careless way.
However, the book does give good answer to simple questions. Whenever, it touches new concepts, it only scratches the surface and you have to dig it out yourself. For example, on page 116, the author mentioned the min-hashing without too much detail information for the reader.
Do NOT waste your money to buy this book!
