  • Hate is a strong word.

    I have a dislike for them. Especially in recent years. There was a time I thought they were the cool hip company with lots of cool innovations. When Google docs launched it was so revolutionary that two people could work with the same document at the same time.

    Now I see them more for what they are: an advertisement provider. They’re only after our data. Once I realized that my dislike for them grew.

    But my dislike for them hasn’t been enough to stop using their products. I’ve tried DDG a few times, but I’ve always been dissatisfied with their results.










  • Yeah, those kind of questions are silly and don’t reflect problems that happen in real life.

    My advice when you get a question similar to this is to have a pen and paper at hand. Draw a few easy examples and find a solve those systematically by hand. From there you go to harder and harder examples and adapt your system for those examples. Try to find examples where your system fails.

    Once you’re confident you’ve found all corner cases you can start to write down the algorithm.

    That’s the advice I can give. Hope it helps!
