This is the Python version of our book. See the website for links to the C++ and Java version.Have you ever... Wanted to work at an exciting futuristic company? Struggled with an interview problem thatcould have been solved in 15 minutes? Wished you could study real-world computing problems?If so, you need to read Elements of Programming Interviews (EPI).EPI is your comprehensive guide to interviewing for software development roles.The core of EPI is a collection of over 250 problems with detailed solutions. The problems are representative of interview questions asked at leading software companies. The problems are illustrated with 200 figures, 300 tested programs, and 150 additional variants.The book begins with a summary of the nontechnical aspects of interviewing, such as strategies for a great interview, common mistakes, perspectives from the other side of the table, tips on negotiating the best offer, and a guide to the best ways to use EPI. We also provide a summary of data structures, algorithms, and problem solving patterns.Coding problems are presented through a series of chapters on basic and advanced data structures, searching, sorting, algorithm design principles, and concurrency. Each chapter stars with a brief introduction, a case study, top tips, and a review of the most important library methods. This is followed by a broad and thought-provoking set of problems.A practical, fun approach to computer science fundamentals, as seen through the lens of common programming interview questions.

Constraint-Based Verification covers an emerging field in functional verification of electronic designs, referred to as the "constraint-based verification." The topics are developed in the context of a wide range of dynamic and static verification approaches including simulation, emulation, and formal methods. The goal is to show how constraints, or assertions, can be used towards automating the generation of testbenches, resulting in a seamless verification flow. Topics such as verification coverage, and connection with assertion based verification, are also covered. The book targets verification engineers as well as researchers. It covers both methodological and technical issues. Particular stress is given to the latest advances in functional verification. The research community has witnessed recent growth of interests in constraint-based functional verification. Various techniques have been developed. They are relatively new, but have reached a level of maturity so that they are appearing in commercial tools such as Vera and System Verilog.

Algorithms For Interviews (AFI) aims to help engineers interviewing for software development positions as well as their interviewers. AFI consists of 174 solved algorithm design problems. It covers core material, such as searching and sorting; general design principles, such as graph modeling and dynamic programming; advanced topics, such as strings, parallelism and intractability. It also covers system design, problem solving, and interviewing techniques. AFI's authors are practicing algorithmists, with extensive academic and industrial experience. They have collectively published over 100 articles on applied algorithms, applied their skills at Google, Microsoft, IBM, Qualcomm, and a number of smaller software startups, and conducted many job interviews for various computer science jobs.
