## April 2017 - Huge Update!

**Overhauled** to now include **120 challenges and solutions** and added [Anki Flash Cards](#anki-flashcards-coding-and-design).

Also included are **unit tested reference implementations** of various [data structures](#reference-implementations-data-structures) and [algorithms](#reference-implementations-algorithms).

interactive-coding-challenges
============

**Continually updated, interactive and test-driven coding challenges**.

Challenges focus on **algorithms** and **data structures** found in **coding interviews**.

Each challenge has one or more reference solutions that are:

* Fully functional
* Unit tested
* Easy-to-understand

Challenges will soon provide on-demand [incremental hints](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/issues/22) to help you arrive at the optimal solution.

Notebooks also detail:

* Constraints
* Test cases
* Algorithms
* Big-O time and space complexities

## Challenge Solutions

The provided [Anki flashcard deck](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) uses spaced repetition to help you retain key concepts.

* [Coding deck](anki_cards/Coding.apkg)

Great for use while on-the-go.

### Hints

* [Challenge Notebook] Provides on-demand [incremental hints](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/issues/22) to help you arrive at the optimal solution.  Coming soon!

## Notebook Installation

### IPython Notebook

If you already have Python installed and are familiar with installing packages, you can get IPython Notebook with pip:

```
pip install "ipython[notebook]"
```

If you run into an issue about pyzmq, refer to the following [Stack Overflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24995438/pyzmq-missing-when-running-ipython-notebook) and run:

```
pip uninstall ipython
pip install "ipython[all]"
```

As an alternative, you can also use the provided ```requirements.txt``` file:

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

For detailed instructions, scripts, and tools to more optimally set up your development environment, check out the [dev-setup](https://github.com/donnemartin/dev-setup) repo.

For more details on notebook installation, follow the directions [here](http://ipython.org/install.html).

More information on IPython/Jupyter Notebooks can be found [here](http://ipython.org/notebook.html).

### Nose Tests

Install nose using setuptools/distribute:

```
easy_install nose
```

or

```
pip install nose
```

More information on Nose can be found [here](https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).

## Running Challenges

### Notebooks

Challenges are provided in the form of **IPython/Jupyter Notebooks** and have been **tested with Python 2.7 and Python 3.x**.

*If you need to install IPython/Jupyter Notebook, see the [Notebook Installation](#notebook-installation) section.*

* This README contains links to [nbviewer](http://nbviewer.ipython.org), which hosts **static notebooks** of the repo's contents
* To interact with or to modify elements within the **dynamic notebooks**, refer to the instructions below

Run the notebook of challenges:

```
$ git clone https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges.git
$ cd interactive-coding-challenges
$ jupyter notebook
```

This will launch your web browser with the list of challenge categories:

* Navigate to the **Challenge Notebook** you wish to solve
* Run the cells within the challenge notebook (Cell->Run All)
    * This will result in an expected unit test error
* Solve the challenge and verify it passes the unit test
* Check out the accompanying **Solution Notebook** for further discussion

To **debug** your solution with pdb, refer to the following [ticket](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/issues/11).

Note: If your solution is different from those listed in the Solution Notebook, consider submitting a pull request so others can benefit from your work.  Review the [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.

## Future Development

Challenges, solutions, and unit tests are presented in the form of **IPython/Jupyter Notebooks**.

* Notebooks currently contain mostly Python solutions (tested on both Python 2.7 and Python 3.x), but can be extended to include [40+ supported languages](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-other-languages)
* Repo will be **continually updated** with new solutions and challenges
* [Contributions](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) are welcome!
