Top Leetcode Coding Patterns With Highest Roi

The document discusses the top coding patterns on LeetCode that provide the highest return on investment. It recommends focusing on arrays, strings, hash tables, trees, and matrices as the most common data structures. The top algorithmic techniques are dynamic programming, sorting, greedy algorithms, and binary search. The best coding patterns are two pointers, sliding window, tree/graph breadth-first search, tree/graph depth-first search, modified binary search, merge intervals, and recursion/backtracking. Mastering these patterns enhances the ability to solve new problems.

Top LeetCode Coding Patterns

with Highest ROI

DesignGurus.org
➡ LeetCode (LC), being the largest repository
of coding problems, contains more than 2k+
questions.

➡ What types of coding questions one


should focus on?

➡ Which algorithimic techniques have the


highest ROI?

7 Best Coding Patterns with
Highest ROI

Combining all categories from the above data, here


is the list of best coding patterns/techniques with
the highest ROI.

DesignGurus.org
1. Two Pointers

LC Tags: Array, String, Fast & Slow Pointer

This pattern covers a huge set of questions


related to Arrays and Strings, which are the
highest tagged data structures. Fast & Slow
Pointer can be understood easily as it is a
variation of the Two Pointers pattern.

DesignGurus.org
2. Sliding Window
LC Tags: Arrays, Strings, Hash Tables

Sliding Window covers most of the problems


related to top data structures like Arrays,
Strings, and HashTables.

DesignGurus.org
3. Tree/Graph Breadth-First Search

LC Tags: Tree, Graph, Queue, Subsets, Matrix


Traversal, Topological Sort

Breadth First Search (BFS) is a very handy


pattern. BFS’s patterns like Subsets, Matrix
Traversal, and Topological Sort cover many
problems.

DesignGurus.org
4. Tree/Graph Depth First Search

LC Tags: Tree, Graph, Matrix Traversal

Most Trees and Graphs problems can be solved


using Depth First Search (DFS). Matrix Traversal,
which is also DFS based pattern, covers most of
the matrix-related problems.

DesignGurus.org
5. Modified Binary Search

LC Tags: Array, Binary Search

Binary Search and its variants are used to solve


a huge number of coding questions.

DesignGurus.org
6. Merge Intervals

LC Tags:: Array, Heap

Although there are not many problems related


to Interval Merge, these problems frequently
appear in coding interviews

DesignGurus.org
7. Recursion/Backtracking

LC Tags:: Array, Queue, Matrix

Backtracking and recursion are used to solve a


wide range of problems. Mastering these
techniques is highly recommended.

DesignGurus.org
➡ Coding patterns enhance our “ability
to map a new problem to an already
known problem.”

➡ Follow these techniques to distinguish


yourself from others! A number of these
approaches are discussed in "Grokking
the Coding Interview" and "Grokking
Dynamic Programming."
