Grokking the Coding Interview: Patterns for Coding Questions
Fast track your coding interview prep by learning coding patterns. Act smartly, and follow the coding patterns.
Fast and Slow Pointers
Detects cycles in linked lists using two pointers at different speeds.
Merge Intervals
Efficiently merges overlapping intervals or determines their intersection.
Tree Depth First Search
Explore trees by traversing each branch as far as possible before backtracking.
Island (Matrix Traversal)
Solves problems of identifying and counting islands in a matrix.
Two Heaps
Efficiently solves problems related to scheduling and data streams with heaps.
Modified Binary Search
Solves problems with variations on the classic binary search algorithm.
K-way Merge
Merges K sorted arrays or lists efficiently into one sorted array or list in linear time.
Greedy Algorithms
Uses a greedy approach to find locally optimal solution for a global optimum.
Backtracking
Depth-first technique to solve problems by exploring different possibilities.
Topological Sort (graph)
Orders directed graph vertices such that u precedes v for every edge (u, v).
Multi-threaded
Uses multiple threads for concurrent tasks, enhancing system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Design Gurus' approach to learning differ from LeetCode and other platforms?
Our courses are designed with a focus on accelerated, pattern-based learning. Instead of overwhelming you with thousands of problems, we show you the key patterns that solve most of them. This approach helps demystify complex coding and design problems by teaching you to recognize underlying patterns, making it easier to tackle similar problems in the future.
Are there any resources for practicing system design interviews?
Absolutely! Design Gurus offers a System Design Interview Roadmap, featuring real-world case studies, comprehensive course offerings, and regular content updates to help you navigate through the nuances of system design interviews.
Do you offer video tutorials?
We believe that actively solving problems is the best way to learn algorithms, which is why our platform is interactive and encourages you to think and practice. However, we understand some people enjoy learning through videos, so we're working on adding video content too. Our Interview Bootcamp offers live classes where you can interact and ask questions to your mentor.
How often is the course content updated?
Our course content is regularly updated to reflect the latest trends and changes in the tech industry, ensuring you're learning the most current and relevant information.
Do you offer any support or community interaction?
Yes, we have an active community forum where you can engage with peers, share insights, and seek advice. Each lesson has a separate “Discussions” tab, where you can ask questions and read what other readers are discussing.
What is the Full Interview Bootcamp?
Our 12-week Full Interview Bootcamp is designed to fast-track your job search, focusing on both technical and behavioral skills. Led by ex-FAANG engineers, this program is tailored for software engineers targeting top tech companies.
Can I schedule mock interviews with experienced engineers?
Yes, Design Gurus offers the opportunity to schedule technical mock interviews with experienced FAANG engineers and authors of the ‘Grokking’ courses, providing you with invaluable feedback and real-world interview experience.
What about those lists of LeetCode questions I see online?
Those lists are great for practice, but they don't teach you the underlying patterns or how to approach new problems. Design Gurus does the hard work of figuring out these patterns for you, so you can focus on learning and applying them.
Do I get any certification upon completing a course?
Upon completion of any course on Design Gurus, you will be awarded a course completion certificate, celebrating your achievement and effort.
What makes Design Gurus the best choice for tech interview preparation?
Design Gurus is trusted by over a million users and offers lifetime access to courses, including all future updates. Our unique, pattern-based learning approach, comprehensive course offerings, and supportive community make us the #1 online system design and coding course platform.
