Didn't expect an LC video from you but damn it was refreshing. Funny enough, I literally solved this exact problem a few days ago. My first first solution was just making a string and throwing it in the BigInt (yes JS/TS does have them lol) and then I realised why they've given the inputs in reverse and expect an answer in reverse. I definitely need to spend more time on digesting the problem lol

In my country India, people stll hire on base of if you can solve LeetCode questions. I have always been against this after Cluely. I believe if you want to test an Engineer, ask him to build. Building something shows us that how good we understand the concept, if we do, we see the results. Though I think solving & understanding DSA is a side quest in the journey for a SWE & we should learn DSA not for jobs but for our good understanding of Computer Science. We love building & we love learning the core computer science.

Need more of these please, really love the way you went in solving the problem

[EIirium]

More of these please. My brain has rotten away because of AI being everywhere and getting into the core of coding is like a refreshing drink. Btw I like longer videos because we lost our patience with doom scrolling and coding videos are meant to be longer and not like a tiktok clip.

In the last job interview I had for a react frontend only role, i was asked to solve a leetcode style problem, traversing a linked list and flattening it to an array. simple enough if you know it, but as someone who has very little dsa experience i was pretty lost and failed hard. Bought Grokking algorithms afterwards though, taught me a lot!

Thanks Cody, every time you remind me how much I suck at solving the algorithms xD

[leochootech]

I spent a weekend coding react without AI as much as possible. feels good

We living in parallel universe - Cody doing Leetcode, Neetcode doing system design

The last 3 companies I worked on, 2 didn't interview me on leetcode problems and one did. I got medium problems on the one that I did. Also I feel that generally they often tend to look more at soft skills and domain of a framework (unfortunately) rather than actual solving problem skills. I feel that companies, if they hire you for a specific role, it is important to expect domain knowledge but also give time for on-boarding. Also personally I would take anytime someone that has solid theory and little domain vs no theory and somewhat of domain.

Not all cases can be judge the same though.

Yeah i think you should do more of these videos

[ianfrye]

Tried solving this before watching - this one was fun for sure

[rayyanwz]

NIce video! Love this style of videos too :)

[andre]

I'd like you see you solve some of these every once in a while. Dunno if there's a lot of interest from other people

[sandervspl]

Use “== null” next time! It will return true for both null and undefined.

[darshannaik]

Great can you create one video every live DSA?

[yassine-sa]

idk but this is one is too easy/classic, but it's good enough for a warmup. I was expecting to solve it under 10 minutes in python. finished writing code in 10 minutes and spent 6 minutes fixing silly mistakes 🤷‍♂

the founder of vibe coding doing leet code 👏

[zhanezar]

can some one help me how do i learn things like binary tree etc ? like is there a good course to do just to get idea of what the Leet code questions expect you to do. like sometimes its not obvious
