January 12, 2016

Encourage myself to write blogs about leetcode questions. The following talk encourages me a lot.

the person likes to write, and then the person must love to read, and then the person must be very curious and intellectual. 

So, Julia likes to build up a good habit to write, and then, to read, and to be curious, and to be intellectual. 

Julia is working on recursive function design, how to handle N-Queen problems. After 6 months, she totally forgets how to solve the problem; So, she continues to read more blogs about this algorithm. 

Review the algorithm again. The following blog gives a good explanation, help me understand the algorithm better.

Amazed that a person can work on algorithms problems and finish over 300 questions/year, people love algorithms and they must know the power of algorithms to save time and improve efficiency at work.

Julia likes to work on the analysis of the algorithm, this pseudo code in the blog may help her quickly recover, from nervous to get familiar with the algorithm.

The following blog is well-written, and Julia should write a similar solution using C#, to express her appreciation of good variables names, good analysis. (Rating: 10 from 1-10)

It is fun to read solutions in C++/Java.

Write another version of N-Queen problem in C# to entertain.

Good advice from the blog 1: 基本上大部分NP问题的求解都是用这个方式，比如Sudoku Solver，Combination Sum，Combinations，Permutations，Word Break II，Palindrome Partitioning等，所以只要把这个套路掌握熟练,多练习.
