Shortcut Tips for Coding Tests: 1. Master the Basics: Familiarize yourself with arrays, strings, loops, and conditional statements. 2. Learn Patterns: Concentrate on sliding window, two-pointer techniques, recursion, and divide-and-conquer methods. 3. Use Standard Algorithms: Study breadth-first search (BFS), depth-first search (DFS), sorting algorithms, and dynamic programming principles. 4. Understand Data Structures: Practice with stacks, queues, linked lists, and trees. 5. Practice Edge Cases: Consider scenarios involving empty inputs, duplicates, and large datasets. 6. Write Pseudocode: Outline your plan before starting to code. 7. Optimize Early: Always strive for efficiency in your solutions.
