When you figure out how you can memorize your way through Google's interview process, please give me some advice. I study algorithms constantly out of interest, and still only managed to do well enough that they gave me another try a week later.
Do I think algorithm questions predict how well you do on a job? No. However I certainly don't think they are just memorization unless you mean memorizing run time of various data structure operations, but that's actually useful to know.
- knughit 11y agoCareercup.com If you can ace Algorithms 101 exam, you can get hired. It is a measure of intelligence and ability to learn (and for older folks, free time to refresh) but it doesn't have much to do with job performance.
- spdionis 11y agoI don't understand what the fuss is all about... Just learn to invert binary trees, shouldn't be that hard...
- rifung 11y agoUnfortunately I already use CareerCup.com and aced my algorithms final when I was in school. However, it's not like you can just memorize the stuff you see on CareerCup since it's unlikely you'll be asked a question you saw on there, unless it's a relatively easy/popular one.
