How to prepare for a Coding Interview in ONE WEEK using ChatGPT

because coding interviews are not like the coding we do on our daily work many of us are guilty of neglecting problem solving until the start of the interview process giving us a week to prepare but fear not we'll discuss how we can prepare for this interview in one week using chat GPT chat GPT will create a personalized study plan explain different concepts and solve practice questions together by the end of the video you will have a one week study plan learning resources and tons of practice questions with their answers and explanations for free without any subscriptions so let's Dive In let's ask chatgpt to create a one-week study plan to prepare for a recording interview I am going to write the following I want to prepare for a problem solving coding interview in one week the interview will have data structures and algorithms scoring questions similar to the questions on hack rank or delete code I will use python as my main programming language create a study plan that will help me prepare for this interview this study plan should be focused on practice questions in the prompt I specified what I want to learn my time frame and the programming language I want to use I also highlighted the practice questions are very important to me doing practice questions is crucial in using your interview a good study plan and explanation of Concepts is good but unless you practice what you've learned over many interview questions you won't be able to answer questions easily in interviews we will use charge GPT to create a lot of practice questions with their answers and explanations later in the video provided a day-by-day plan that takes you from the very beginning to advanced concepts day one is a review of the basics like reviewing python syntax data types data structures strings arrays and sorting then it tells you to tackle some easy to medium level questions on the hacker rank or lead code we'll have charge GPT to provide practice questions so don't worry about creating a subscription Day 2 is going to be focused on more advanced data structures like linked lists stacks queues and graphs we also look on how they are implemented in Python so we can utilize them when needed and it tells you to do some more practice questions day 3 is going to be focused on different sorting algorithms day 4 is going to be more Advanced Techniques like dynamic programming day 5 is going to be about recursion divide and conquer and greedy algorithms I would swap the A4 and A5 with each other since dynamic programming is an addition to the concepts in day 4 to make the code run faster day 6 is going to be for reviews and doing mock interviews and doing more practice questions day 7 is going to be more practice questions I love how it allocates a good amount of time for practice let's now start studying I will start off by refreshing my memory on the basics followed by a lot of practice questions I will write act as a teacher and explain all content for day one provide code samples when possible Chad GPT didn't waste time at all and started reviewing the python syntax followed by the data types it covered integers floats strings booleans lists and dictionaries it also provided code samples for each then it showed you two simple practice questions and their answers to get you warmed up let's now practice on more problems for day one provide an easy level programming coding interview problem solve the programming problem with python and provide a detailed explanation time complexity and space complexity provide test cases to the code as well this will make chat GPT provide an easy level problem solve it and provide an explanation for the solution I would encourage you to start with the easy problems for each section and work your way up to heart problems the problem generated is super simple and is telling us to find the largest number in a list I would read the problem first and try to solve it on my own after that I would read the chart GPT solution and explanation I would also take a look at time and space complexity since this is a very common question that gets asked in interviews after you finish coding chat GPT also provided some test cases so it would be a good idea to test your code and make sure it's producing the correct output to practice more on the same type and level of questions we can tell it to provide another problem this problem is very simple like the one before and it's just summing up even numbers in a list we can generate harder questions by copy pasting our earlier prompt that produced our first practice question and change easy level to medium levels and voila here's a harder problem and of course you can generate as much as you want this problem is about finding the longest sub-array that have an even sum it also provides the problem the solution the explanation and test cases you can also generate hard level questions by copy pasting The Prompt above and change medium level to hard the output is what you expect a harder problem with its solution let's now see if charge GPT can explain more challenging Concepts it's a good idea to copy paste the plan that charge GPT generated before so that it doesn't get confused when you tell it to plan for a certain day mentioned earlier in the plan I copy pasted chart gpt's plan and told it to act as a teacher and explain all content for Day 2 provide good samples when possible as you can see it had no problems tackling the content in day two it covered arrays lists Stacks cues and graphs it also provided code Snippets for each we can also ask it to generate practice questions like before this time it provided a question that is related to the content learned from day two this problem is a graph problem and just like before it provided the question the solution the code and the explanation let's now tackle an advanced topic four Advanced topics I would suggest you to utilize chat GPT to create a separate study plan for this specific Advanced topic with reading materials this will help you grasp more information clearly with less frustrations it will also provide charge GPT a structure to build on when explaining this concept let's tackle dynamic programming for example this is an advanced Topic in problem solving it gave you a breakdown of what you should learn and it also listed some reading material we can follow this up by telling it to explain what it just listed down it started to explain dynamic programming Concepts like memorization top-down approach and bottom-up approach it also provided a couple of questions to explain dynamic programming on it specifically showed us the Fibonacci problem and the knapsat problem let's say I didn't get the Fibonacci explanation I can ask shot GPT to explain it again and in more detail now it's better it first told the problem by using plane recursion and told us that this solution is a big o n power tool which is inefficient then it adapted the code to include dynamic programming and explained how it did it it also told us that now the code runs in Big O N which is way better than the previous solution you can also keep asking it to explain it in different ways and to use different problems this is one of my favorite things about charge gpt's explanation you can ask it any follow-up question or ask it to re-explain Concepts and it would do so like a very patient teacher lastly let's say you're solving a question outside the chart GPT and you get successful being a question all you have to do is copy paste the question in chat GPT and it will provide you the solution and explanation now in this convenient by following our tips and strategies you'll be on your way to mastering coding interviews and impressing your potential employers remember practice makes perfect so make sure to put in the time and effort to prepare for your next technical interview thanks for tuning in
