ProblemSolving

Documentation on Source Files

Example documentation of top of each source file looks like,

/***************************************************************************************************
* Title : Title or Name of the problem
* URL   : Usually a problem number, for UVA it can just be a number
* Occasn: Occasion Contest or an event
* Date  : Date the problem got accepted by judge
* Comp  : Complexity, example, O(n), O(1) first one stands for time complexity and second one
*   stands space complexity
* Status: Judge status by an online judge system i.e., Accepted, Wrong Answer, PresentationError
* Notes : Explanation, algorithm details
* ref   : reference books/articles/links
* Ack   : one or more persons who are acknowledged
* meta  : tags of the problem prefixed with "tag-" i.e., tag-algo-dp, tag-two-pointers
***************************************************************************************************/

More Info

• meta which stands for meta-data, specifies what type of problem is it, categorizes the problem. For example, tag-algo-dp stands for dynamic programming algorithmic problem. tag-ds-bst would mean data structure: binary search tree problem.

Searching on the Repository

To implement searching based on tags we added meta to each of the source file. During search have to append tag- as prefix of the tag string. For example, to search on problems on linked-list: we navigate to this repo url and enter following in the search box: tag-ds-linked-list

Additionally, here are currently supported tags/classifications based on algorithm and data structure,

• Bit Manipulation
• Dynamic Programming
• Graph
• LCS
• LIS
• Linked List
• Priority Queue
• Recursion
• Sorting
• String
• Tree

Binary Tree, Heap and related tags are,

• Binary Search
• Binary Tree
• Binary Search Tree
• Heap

Graph algorithm tags,

• Breadth First Search
• Depth First Search
• Dijkstra Algorithm

Permutation, combination related problems,

• Next Permutation

Company based domains,

• Google
• Microsoft
• Bloomberg

Contest based tags,

• ACM ICPC

Miscellaneous tags

• Interviews, any company
• Easy LeetCode Problems
• Medium LeetCode Problems
• Easy non-leetcode problems

Language Feature based,

• lambda expression
• LINQ

Tag Related Tips and Tricks,

Some notes,

• binary tree has tag-binary-tree and Binary Search Trees have tag-ds-BST
• Other tree problem has tag-graph-tree
• judges don't need te be tagged they are categorized by container directory names
