These exercises are some I did while studying for COMP2521, as well as some others which I've found afterwards which I think will be relevant. I've collected these problems mostly from LeetCode and HackerRank, which are excellent sites for practicing your coding abilities. Accounts on both sites will be necessary to do the problems listed.

The difficulty ranking is obviously my opinion, but generally speaking here is what they mean:

• Easy: Problems that you should be able to do without too much difficulty.
• Intermediate: Problems that are a bit harder, but should be doable with a little bit of thought and intuition.
• Challenges: Problems that I think are difficult and/or interesting, if you're up for it. There are almost all harder than what's within the scope of 2521.

If you're able to solve the easy and intermediate problems without much difficulty, you're probably very well prepared for any programming questions you'll receive in the ex

GROKKING NOTES

I liked the way Grokking the coding interview organized problems into learnable patterns. However, the course is expensive and the majority of the time the problems are copy-pasted from leetcode. As the explanations on leetcode are usually just as good, the course really boils down to being a glorified curated list of leetcode problems.

So below I made a list of leetcode problems that are as close to grokking problems as possible.
