Find a path between two nodes in a tree using Breadth First Search GitHub repo with completed solution code CW: there will be images / gifs of slime molds in this post. I’m going to be honest: I decided to tackle this problem because I wanted to talk about slime molds. Slime molds are weird. They aren’t molds, actually — they used to be classed as fungi, but are…

Githup repo with completed solution code Given an array of strings, return a new array containing all the strings with any anagrams collected together. When I saw this challenge, I thought it might be a good application for one of my favorite problem-solving data structures: the lowly hash table. In JavaScript, hash tables can be used…

Github repo with completed solution code & test suite Given two integers which are not both zero, find the largest positive integer that divides into evenly into each of the integers. Most of the digital tools we use every day rely on encryption. Somewhere in their architecture, sometimes many times or many places, web apps use RSA encryption to…

GitHub Repo with completed solution code and test suites Generate a complete list of prime numbers up to a given number. I love working with prime numbers. Why?

GitHub Repo with completed solution code and test suite Given an array of numbers, find the contiguous subarray within it which adds up to the largest sum. Want to analyze some DNA? Sequence a genome? Analyze image data? Doing some data mining? Or maybe just brushing up on algorithms while preparing for technical interviews? Then you might need to…

GitHub Repo with completed solution code and test suite What is the aim of the Balanced Brackets algorithm challenge? “Given a string containing brackets, determine if all brackets have a matching counterpart. If all brackets in the string form balanced pairs, return true. If not, return false”

GitHub repo with completed solution code and test suite What is the Ransom Note challenge? ‘Given two strings: 1. A source string, i.e. the “page” 2. A desired string, i.e. the “note” determine if the desired “note” string can be created using only the letters found in the source “page”.’ A visual example of what we’re looking for would…

GitHub repo with completed solution code and test suite. Given a string, return all permutations of the string. When I sat down to solve this problem, I found it to be a great algorithm challenge. Why? While the task of manipulating a string may seem familiar on its surface, actually finding a complete solution requires us to handle some…

This Github repo contains my completed code for all three solution models. What is the Two-Sum Problem? “Given an array of integers and a target number, return the two integers that add up to the target number”
