I\u2019ll say it: preparing for interviews is not fun.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even after hours of preparation, it\u2019s hard to know when you\u2019re really ready. There are always <\/em>more exercises to do, more techniques to review, and how can you be sure you haven\u2019t missed some obscure algorithm known only to technical interviewers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people with some programming experience, preparation materials must strike a delicate balance between challenging and refreshing their knowledge of the most important techniques, staying careful not to waste their time with exercises that are too easy or too hard. If you\u2019re a beginner at the start of your interview journey, it can be hard to feel confident that you\u2019re learning everything you\u2019ll need without interview prep turning into a full-time job in its own right. When faced with a screen of 50 exercises and a frustratingly cheery \u201cGood luck!\u201d, many people quit before they even begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Algorithmic Challenges in Kotlin<\/a> course was created as a free solution to these problems. The exercises cover over 30 algorithms and were carefully designed by experienced professionals who understand the ins and outs of interview prep. By following the natural pace of the course you can avoid getting overwhelmed and make efficient progress in building confidence and expertise for your coming interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice in your IDE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Topic by topic, you\u2019ll be able to practice essential algorithmic techniques directly in your IDE, with built-in support for displaying task descriptions and automatic grading. Save time and brainpower using the productivity tools built into IntelliJ IDEA, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
