THE CHALLENGE

Why You Can't Identify What Makes a Good Solution

Lack of Experience

Without exposure to a wide array of challenges, it’s hard to develop the intuition needed to judge the quality of a solution. Our diverse practice sets help you build this critical skill.

Complexity Analysis

Understanding time and space complexity is crucial to assessing a solution’s efficiency. We teach you to analyze and optimize your code so you recognize truly optimal approaches.

Trade-offs

There’s rarely a one-size-fits-all answer. Learn how to weigh the benefits and downsides of different approaches to choose the most balanced solution.

Edge Cases

A solution might work under normal conditions but fail in unusual scenarios. We show you how to identify these pitfalls to build robust solutions.

Code Quality

A working solution isn’t always a great one. We emphasize writing clean, maintainable code that meets professional standards.

Continuous Improvement

Mastering solution evaluation is an evolving skill. With ongoing feedback and challenges, you’ll continuously refine your ability to judge and enhance your code.

OUR MISSION

Master the Art of Evaluating Solutions

At AlgoCademy, we believe that a solution is much more than just code that works – it’s about efficiency, clarity, and overall quality. Our curriculum is designed to demystify the process of distinguishing truly great solutions from merely functional ones.

Is AlgoCademy right for you? Simply put, we’re for you if...

You often struggle to differentiate between a working solution and an optimal one.

You find yourself confused by the trade-offs in various coding approaches and wish you could understand them better.

Even when you think you’ve solved a problem, you wonder if your solution is truly the best option.

You want to gain the speed and insight needed to evaluate and improve your solutions effectively.

You’re overwhelmed by the details that separate an average solution from a truly great one.

“After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!”

Cristina Radulescu

Senior Software Engineer at Uber

“AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!”

Connor Holland

Software Engineer at Vanguard

“Wow. I’ve been using AlgoCademy for a while and now I can finally solve coding questions on my own. This gave me the confidence I needed for my interviews, and guess what? I landed the offer at Samsung! You guys truly kick ass. High fives!”
