Any Project Euler fans?

I'm not very advanced in math or coding but I do enjoy some of the low level challenges. Anyone else do these? Link

@Pudutr0n When I was a PhD student and procrastinating on writing my thesis I did too many Project Euler problems.

Project Euler is the lifehack for job interview prep.

Find problems that are appropriate for your skill level, write out answers on paper or on a whiteboard, then once you're happy with them, put them into the computer and fix them up until they run. Keep doing that until you feel well-practiced with your ability to put code together without having an editor and think quickly about new problems you've never seen before. (For me it took a few days of practice.) Congratulations, you're now the guy or gal who can show up and eat the interview problems alive and look comfortable and confident doing it.

Is it pounced “oil-er” or “yoo-ler”?

I did quite a lot of them maybe 10 years ago. Are they still being updated?

Pudutr0n@feddit.cl · 2 pts · 1y

Doubt it. I stick to the basic problems. Those all remain the same, but there could be updates in the advanced stuff i'm unaware of.

I did so many of these. Yes it's a excellent resource
