##  How to read this
##########################################################################################

Everything below is an outline, and you should tackle the items in order from top to bottom.

I put an asterisk/star (*) at the beginning of a line when I'm done with it. When all sub-items are done,
I put a * at the top level, meaning the entire block is done. Sorry you have to remove all my *
to use this the same way. If you search/replace, there are a couple of places to look out for.
Sometimes I just put a * at top level if I know I've done all the subtasks, to cut down on * clutter.

##  Knowledge:
##########################################################################################

This short section were prerequisites/interesting info I wanted to learn before getting started on the daily plan.

You need to know C, C++, or Java to do the coding part of the interview.
They will sometimes make an exception and let you use Python or some other language, but the language
must be mainstream and allow you write your code low-level enough to solve the problems.
You'll see some C, C++ learning included below.

There are a few books involved, see the bottom.

Some videos are available only by enrolling in a Coursera or EdX class. It is free to do so.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Daily Plan:

Each subject does not require a whole day to be able to understand it fully, and you can do multiple of these in a day.

Each day I take one subject from the list below, watch videos about that subject, and write an implementation in:
    C - using structs and functions that take a struct * and something else as args.
    C++ - without using built-in types
    C++ - using built-in types, like STL's std::list for a linked list
    Python - without using built-in types (to keep practicing Python)
    and write tests to ensure I'm doing it right, sometimes just using simple assert() statements
    You may do Java or something else, this is just my thing.

Why code in all of these?
    Practice, practice, practice, until I'm sick of it, and can do it with no problem (some have many edge cases and bookkeeping details to remember)
    Work within the raw constraints (allocating/freeing memory without help of garbage collection (except Python))
    Make use of built-in types so I have experience using the built-in tools for real-world use (not going to write my own linked list implementation in production)

You don't need to memorize the guts of every algorithm.

Write code on a whiteboard, not a computer. Test with some sample inputs.
Then test it out on a computer to make sure it's not buggy from syntax.

Arrays
    * - Description:
        - Arrays: https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/OsBSF/arrays
        - Arrays: https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Basic-arrays/149042/177104-4.html
        - Multi-dim: https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Multidimensional-arrays/149042/177105-4.html
        - Dynamic Arrays: https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/EwbnV/dynamic-arrays
        - Jagged: https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Jagged-arrays/149042/177106-4.html
        - Resizing arrays:
            - https://class.coursera.org/algs4partI-010/lecture/19
            - https://www.lynda.com/Developer-Programming-Foundations-tutorials/Resizable-arrays/149042/177108-4.html
    - Implement a vector (mutable array with automatic resizing):
        * - Practice coding using arrays and pointers, and pointer math to jump to an index instead of using indexing.
        * - new raw data array with allocated memory
            - can allocate int array under the hood, just not use its features
            - start with 16, or if starting number is greater, use power of 2 - 16, 32, 64, 128
        * - size() - number of items
        * - capacity() - number of items it can hold
        * - is_empty()
        - at(index) - returns item at given index, blows up if index out of bounds
        - append(item) - or push(item) - check size of element 2^
        - insert(index, item)
        - prepend(item) - can use insert above at index 0
        - delete(index)
        - remove(item)
        - find(item)
        - resize(new_capacity) // private function
            - when you reach capacity, resize to double the size
            - when popping an item, if size is 1/4 of capacity, resize to half
    - Time
        - O(1) to add/remove at end (amortized for allocations for more space), index, or update
        - O(n) to insert/remove elsewhere
    - Space
        - contiguous in memory, so proximity helps performance
        - space needed = (array capacity, which is >= n) * size of item
Linked lists
    - singly-linked
        * - Description: https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-structures/lecture/kHhgK/singly-linked-lists

            - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQs6IC-vgmo
        - implement (with tail pointer), item is the data item in a node:
            - push_front
            - get_front
            - pop_front
            - push_back
            - get_back
            - pop_back
            - insert_before(node, item)
            - insert_after(node, item)
            - size()
            - is_empty()
            - find(item) - assume each item is unique
            - remove(item) - assume each item is unique

        - Dijkstra
        - A*
    - when asked a question, look for a graph-based solution first, then move on if none.
Other data structures:
    - You should study up on as many other data structures and algorithms as possible
    - You should especially know about the most famous classes of NP-complete problems, such as traveling salesman and the knapsack problem, and be able to recognize them when an interviewer asks you them in disguise.
    - Know what NP-complete means.

------------------------

Be thinking of for when the interview comes:

Think of about 20 interview questions you'll get, along the lines of the items below:
have 2-3 answers for each
Have a story, not just data, about something you accomplished

Why do you want this job?
What's a tough problem you've solved?
Biggest challenges faced?
Best/worst designs seen?
Ideas for improving an existing Google product.
How do you work best, as an individual and as part of a team?
Which of your skills or experiences would be assets in the role and why?
What did you most enjoy at [job x / project y]?
What was the biggest challenge you faced at [job x / project y]?
What was the hardest bug you faced at [job x / project y]?
What did you learn at [job x / project y]?
What would you have done better at [job x / project y]?

---------------------------

Have questions for the interviewer.

Some of mine (I already may know answer to but want their opinion or team perspective):
    - How large is your team?
    - What is your dev cycle look like? Do you do sprints/agile?
    - How are decisions made in your team?
    - How many meetings do you have per week?
    - Do you feel your work environment helps you concentrate?
    - What are you working on?
    - What do you like about it?
    - What is the work life like?
