Cracking the Coding Interview: 400 Programming Questions and Solutions - Java Interview Questions & Answers Complete Reference. Beginners To Experts Approach ... & Answers Complete Reference Book 10)
The core of Elements of Programming Interviews (EPI) is a collection of 300 problems with detailed solutions, including over 100 figures and 250 tested programs. The problems are representative of the questions asked at interviews at the most exciting companies. They are well-motivated, thought-provoking and fun to solve!
EPI includes a summary of the nontechnical aspects of interviewing, including common mistakes, strategies for a great interview, the interviewer's perspective, negotiating the best offer, and much more.
Since different candidates have different time constraints, EPI includes a study guide with several study scenarios, ranging from weekend Hackathon to semester long preparation with a recommended a subset of problems for each scenario.
All problems are classified in terms of their difficulty level and include many variants in addition to the 300 problems to help you apply what you have learned more widely.
All problems includes hints for readers who get struck. This simulates what you will face in the real interview.

Now in the 5th edition, Cracking the Coding Interview gives you the interview preparation you need to get the top software developer jobs. This is a deeply technical book and focuses on the software engineering skills to ace your interview. The book is over 500 pages and includes 150 programming interview questions and answers, as well as other advice.
The full list of topics are as follows:
The Interview Process
This section offers an overview on questions are selected and how you will be evaluated. What happens when you get a question wrong? When should you start preparing, and how? What language should you use? All these questions and more are answered.
Behind the Scenes
Learn what happens behind the scenes during your interview, how decisions really get made, who you interview with, and what they ask you. Companies covered include Google, Amazon, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple and Facebook.
Special Situations
This section explains the process for experience candidates, Program Managers, Dev Managers, Testers / SDETs, and more. Learn what your interviewers are looking for and how much code you need to know.
Before the Interview
In order to ace the interview, you first need to get an interview. This section describes what a software engineer's resume should look like and what you should be doing well before your interview.
Behavioral Preparation
Although most of a software engineering interview will be technical, behavioral questions matter too. This section covers how to prepare for behavioral questions and how to give strong, structured responses.
Technical Questions (+ 5 Algorithm Approaches)
This section covers how to prepare for technical questions (without wasting your time) and teaches actionable ways to solve the trickiest algorithm problems. It also teaches you what exactly "good coding" is when it comes to an interview.
150 Programming Questions and Answers
This section forms the bulk of the book. Each section opens with a discussion of the core knowledge and strategies to tackle this type of question, diving into exactly how you break down and solve it. Topics covered include :
Arrays and Strings
Linked Lists
Stacks and Queues
Trees and Graphs
Bit Manipulation
Brain Teasers
Mathematics and Probability
Object-Oriented Design
Recursion and Dynamic Programming
Sorting and Searching
Scalability and Memory Limits
Testing
