Kotlin coding challenges

This repository contains a set of programming challenges that are solved using the Kotlin language (hints, solutions tests and useful links are here as well). The purpose of this repository is to help you to practice coding and develop strong problem-solving skills. This will help you to become a better programmer and improve your chance of getting a new job by passing whiteboard coding interviews.

Challenge structure

Each challenge is located in separate package and it contains 3 main files (screen):

• desc.md - the task description.
• desc.kt - an empty method/class where challenge should be solved. This file also contains set of test and ocasionally helper methods. JUnit tests which verify that task was solved correctly.
• solution.kt - a file containing one or more solutions.

Keep in mind that each challenge will usually have more than one solution. Even simple challenges like String reversal can be solved in 10 different ways. Usually, we compare various solutions using (Big O notation) to determine space/time complexity and we look at code readability.

How do I start?

1. Install IntelliJ IDEA
2. Import project by using IntelliJ IDEA menu: File | New | Project From Version Control | Git
3. Choose a challenge and code the solution
4. Run the tests to verify your solution

Let's solve some challenges

Challenges below are segregated by different difficulties. The repository also contains challenges grouped by problem type.

Some challenges may contain a reference to other challenges that should be solved before to have a better understanding of the problem. To succeed you need to practice often, repeat the same challenges multiple times and be persistent over time. Take your time before you take a look at the presented solution. Good luck!
