In my opinion, it's a settled question now. If you are looking for a job, you better cram these lists or you are dead meat. The screening tests and the interviews basically boil down to these set of questions for most of the companies.
- alkonaut 10y agoThat might be true in Silicon Valley, I would never ever ask for an implementation of a known algorithm from a candidate, it's beyond stupid. Knowing the running time of merge sort or A* is interesting. Knowing its implementation by heart is not.
- sh87 10y agoI know where you are getting at and there's a subtle difference there. Knowing the 'implementation' Vs Knowing the 'algorithm'. I don't think I can 'know' something without actually doing it. Thereby, the road to knowing the algorithm goes through the rock climb of knowing its implementation.
