Freebies

Here are things that you get for free if you wish to work in Python.

AKDSFramework, a Purely written in Python library containing implementations of various data structures. See documentations here \(\to\).
Benchmarking decorator: Use an one line import to profile any python function, from AKDSFramework.applications.decorators import benchmark. More on this here in this blog post \(\to\).
A Python based caching decorator, to use in Dynamic Programming problems. More on this here in this blog post \(\to\).
A big O analyser, find it here \(\to\). It works with most of the python programs but is not a good fit for more complex functions.
TinyDS, small and simple pythonic implementations for most of your coding problems that are asked in SDE I or II interviews at FAANGs that you will be able to implement on the spot if asked.

C++

I actually now prefer to solve algorithm problems in C++ now, so AKDSFramework alternative is here for C++. Click to get it on Github \(\to\).
How to use the stdin and stdout and take input from files and write output to text files to quickly submit solutions to online coding platforms. Here is an article with that information.

Writing C++ Output with color

Distinguishing C++ output inside the terminal is a hard job. Use the following color pallette to distinguish the outputs.

#define RESET "\033[0m"
#define BLACK "\033[30m"              /* Black */
#define RED "\033[31m"                /* Red */
#define GREEN "\033[32m"              /* Green */
#define YELLOW "\033[33m"             /* Yellow */
#define BLUE "\033[34m"               /* Blue */
#define MAGENTA "\033[35m"            /* Magenta */
#define CYAN "\033[36m"               /* Cyan */
#define WHITE "\033[37m"              /* White */
#define BOLDBLACK "\033[1m\033[30m"   /* Bold Black */
#define BOLDRED "\033[1m\033[31m"     /* Bold Red */
#define BOLDGREEN "\033[1m\033[32m"   /* Bold Green */
#define BOLDYELLOW "\033[1m\033[33m"  /* Bold Yellow */
#define BOLDBLUE "\033[1m\033[34m"    /* Bold Blue */
#define BOLDMAGENTA "\033[1m\033[35m" /* Bold Magenta */
#define BOLDCYAN "\033[1m\033[36m"    /* Bold Cyan */
#define BOLDWHITE "\033[1m\033[37m"   /* Bold White */

Usage with `std::cout`

Everytime you use any of the color you must reset the color from the terminal like the following:

int main() {
    vector<int> v = {1, 0, 1, 0, 0};

    for (auto i : v)
        cout << BOLDCYAN << i << " " << RESET;

    cout << " \n";
    return 0;
}

Algorithms C++

C++ Algorithms is a simple data structure implementation library that you can remember to implement in an interview setting.

Contributing

There is some open positions for contribution in AKDSFramework tinyds, and C++ Algorithms projects. If you are willing to work open source please reach out to me at hey@theroyakash.com.

Warning

Note that I am currently a masters student in computer science, so I won't be able to provide financial reimbursement for any of the contributions done for the project. If that does not bother you, please reach out.
