Unit 6 Session 1 (Click for link to problem statements)
Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.
- Have fully understood the problem and have no clarifying questions.
Match what this problem looks like to known categories of problems, e.g. Linked List or Dynamic Programming, and strategies or patterns in those categories.
This task involves creating a linked list in a more compact and efficient manner than originally provided, showcasing how constructor chaining can be used to streamline the code.
Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.
General Idea: Instead of manually linking each node line by line, use constructor nesting to directly link all nodes in a single statement.
Implement the code to solve the algorithm.
head = Node("Ash", Node("Misty", Node("Brock")))
Review the code by running specific example(s) and recording values (watchlist) of your code's variables along the way.
Evaluate the performance of your algorithm and state any strong/weak or future potential work.
O(1)
as the operations do not depend on the length of the list or scale with more data.O(1)
