The Interviews Repository is a comprehensive technical interview preparation resource for software engineering candidates. This repository serves as a centralized collection of data structures, algorithms, and coding problems commonly encountered in technical interviews at top technology companies. The material is organized to support both conceptual learning and targeted preparation for specific companies.
This page provides a high-level overview of the repository's organization, content, and usage. For detailed information about specific data structures, see Data Structures Reference, and for algorithms, see Algorithms Reference.
The primary goal of this repository is to provide
The repository contains both theoretical explanations and practical implementations, making it suitable for candidates at all levels of preparation.

The Interviews repository is organized according to two main classification systems
This dual organization allows you to either focus on mastering specific concepts or target your preparation for interviews with particular companies.
The repository follows a consistent structure for organizing code
