Code review by User (III)

January 8, 2016

Introduction
Julia woke up in the middle of the sleep, and then she checked her two posts on code review, she was amazed that in her 3 hours sleep she got 3 up-votes. Actually she went bed around 2:00am, she posted 2 algorithms for code review. What a bad unhealthy life style - let internet ruin the good sleep.

She knows that she has to learn how to play a good game about reputations, and do not let reputation take over her strong analytical mind she is trying to build up. At 9:48am the morning, her reputation is up to 189, 20 more reputation compared to 2:00am, January 8, 2017 when she went to sleep.

One of algorithms is about simple function. Link is here. She got 2 up-votes, each brings 5 reputation.
Another one is about "Find kth largest element in the union of two sorted array". Link is here. She also got 2 up-votes.

She taught herself to be very patient in Saturday, spent over 4 hours to work on Hackerearth simple function again, and learn whatever she has to do. She got feedback from her post - the code is hard to follow, where code is rewritten from her study other player's C++ code. One algorithm a time (This algorithm Julia worked on more than 2 * 10 hours). So, she likes to avoid complicated code, and work with high reputation talent (For me that solution is hard for follow – Paparazzi Jan 2 at 15:12 about Julia's post) better, she said goodbye to her old post and all her concerns to work on the follow-up post.

So, most of important is to have some sportsmanship, check other people's post, and give out an up-vote as well. Think about others, give out some encouragement as well. The small sportsmanship leads her to do a study on a post by this user.

Workout

Julia experienced the excitement from reputation going up 20 from 169 to 189, after she worked on algorithm more than 8 hours in Saturday, January 7, 2016. Now she is imaging that how much work she has to complete in order to make this reputation go up to the user - CodeYogi 1683, top 8% overall. 

100 algorithm, have some time to study peers. 

First algorithm review -

Sherlock and Anagrams

Julia worked on the algorithm, here are her previous blogs about the algorithm:

Practice I

Practice II

Practice III

Practice IV

Practice V

Practice VI: Warmup after 3 months
