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.
- https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-subarray/ # Close enough
- https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-size-subarray-sum/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-substring-with-at-most-k-distinct-characters/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/fruit-into-baskets/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-substring-without-repeating-characters/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-repeating-character-replacement/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/max-consecutive-ones-iii/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/permutation-in-string/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/find-all-anagrams-in-a-string/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-window-substring/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/substring-with-concatenation-of-all-words/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/remove-duplicates-from-sorted-array/

- https://leetcode.com/problems/insert-interval/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/interval-list-intersections/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/meeting-rooms-ii/
- Could not find equivalent. Given a list of intervals with values, find the peak sum (i.e. if intervals are overlapping, sum their values)
- https://leetcode.com/problems/employee-free-time/
- Couldn't find equivalent for the first question. The second question below encompasses the first one though. See https://leetcode.com/problems/missing-number/discuss/859510/C%2B%2B-O(N)-O(1)-using-Cyclic-Sort for how grokking the coding interview approached these problems. It uses the fact that we can sort the array in O(n) without comparison operators
- https://leetcode.com/problems/missing-number/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/find-all-numbers-disappeared-in-an-array/
- https://leetcode.com/problems/find-all-duplicates-in-an-array/
