Data manipulation problem study resources

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 12:53:53 +0000

A colleague of mine is studying for tech roles, and they're asked to solve a consistent type of problem during the phone screenings: practicing manipulating data (sets, hash tables/dictionaries, arrays/lists, strings). These questions aren’t necessarily difficult problems and tend to require very little logic, and tend to be more about having a good understanding of the data types (such as listed above). I've provided some examples in this link: https://imgur.com/a/ITVeVnr

So I'm wondering if there are resources to study these questions. They aren't really Leetcode questions or the kind of thing found on Reddit daily programmer, which is where I'm generally directed to most often in the time I've been asking all over. Even if it's a textbook, it would be incredibly handy. And to be clear, I'm not looking for like a hack or golden secret, just resources for studying. Thank you for any help!

There are Different Ways of Reaching a Solution

In any coding assignment or task at a higher educational level (University/College), would it be acceptable to use less coding and list modules or libraries that may not be provided?

For example, a class assignment was posted on a Learning Management System: Quercus did not have a rubric or any kind of criteria listed.

Would less coding, and more usage of functions built-in be suitable? Sci-kit learn instead of generating several lines of algorithms when the library has a very useable version in less than three lines?

There are several ways to end with the same answer.
