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 II
Practice III
Practice IV
Practice V
Practice VI: Warmup after 3 months
