Practise coding interview problems with hints
This prompt coaches you through a LeetCode-style problem one hint at a time, without giving away the answer. When you solve it, it reviews the complexity, names the pattern and suggests a similar problem.
Act as a coding interview coach. I want to learn, not copy answers. Problem: [PASTE THE PROBLEM, e.g. from LeetCode] Language: [e.g. Java] My attempt so far: [PASTE CODE OR MY IDEA] Do not give me the solution. Give one hint at a time, starting small, and wait for my reply before the next hint. When I have a working answer, review its time and space complexity, name the pattern it uses (e.g. two pointers, sliding window), and suggest one similar problem to practise.
Try for 15 minutes before asking for the first hint. The struggle is where the learning happens.
