Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 56,488 PointsWhat do you mean with competitive programming?

9,884 PointsFor the algorithms and data structures, the best thing to do is to practice. I'm in the same boat, actually, and been doing some challenges (here on Treehouse, and other sites like Code Wars). Just keep at it. :)

4,187 PointsBut on Treehouse we don't have such type of problems which involves Dynamic Programming , BackTracing etc... Do u use code chef!..
Jon Wood
9,884 PointsI don't think most of those types of things are needed much in the workplace, unless you're doing some very new game programming or some type of research, so they may not spend their resources covering them (if they get enough people interested then they might). I've never really experienced it, myself, but maybe someone on here can chime in if they have.
I never used CodeChef, but I do like those sites in order for people to get practice in algorithms and such.

4,187 PointsYa at work place we don't need competitive programming. But to get into a giant company we should brush up our skills in Data Structures and Algorithms.
Jon Wood
9,884 PointsOh, yeah, that's a great point! I know Amazon definitely does this. I think they use HackerRank for their interviews, too.
Pranjal Agnihotri
4,187 PointsYa they use Hacker rank where they conduct a elimination test.

4,187 PointsCompetitive Programming is that art of programming in which we have given some real life problems which we have to solve under constraints like time , memory , speed and accuracy. Our program is then tested by machine. This only revolves around Data structures and algorithms. You can check out www.codechef.com .
