Crack the Coding Interview Round: Patterns, AI Code Review, and What to Say Out Loud

About this PDF

Coding interviews now test more than whether you can reach a working solution. You may need to explain your decisions, debug unfamiliar code, and defend your approach. Some companies allow AI tools in interviews, while others ban them. This course helps you prepare for both, with tested Python code, ready-to-use scripts, and a clear practice plan. What’s inside: 14 core patterns: Hash Map, Two Pointers, Sliding Window, Binary Search, Stack, Linked List, Tree DFS and BFS, Graph Traversal, Topological Sort, Heap, Intervals, Backtracking, Dynamic Programming, and Greedy A page for each pattern: how to spot it, how it works, a pro-tip, Python code, complexity, practice problems, and a self-study link Thinking Out Loud: an 8-step walkthrough, clarifying questions, what to say when you’re stuck, and two sample dialogues 20 Find the Bug exercises: logic, security, performance, and edge-case problems, with corrected code and clear explanations Help from AI tools: how to use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and GitHub Copilot as a coach, with 10 prompts to copy AI-assisted interview guidance: how to direct, check, and take ownership of AI-generated code 4-week practice plan: daily tasks, a routine, and a pattern tracker One-page cheat sheet: all 14 patterns for last-minute review Who it’s for: software engineering candidates, including students, freshers, career changers, and experienced developers returning to interviews. You should know basic programming, and Python will help you follow the examples. About the author: Karthikeyan T is a Senior AI Engineer and SaaS Architect with 20+ years of engineering experience. Format: 49-page PDF with clickable links. This course doesn’t guarantee an interview or a job. Interview formats and AI rules vary by company, so check the policy with your recruiter.
