On completing this book, you will have these core skills:

• Strong hold on Array (Research Level)
• Easily solve any Array based Coding Interview Problem
• Design Custom Data Structures

Best approach to go through this book:

• Master the basics of Array (Part 1): Take your own time in this section as it prepares you to understand the importance and applicability of Array.
• Learn the basic techniques (Part 2): This part equips you with all necessary skills you need to solve any Array based problem efficiently.
• See how a simple array can be modified to support different features (Part 3): This part impacts an important skill that is to design new Data Structure. This is an important Industry skill which will help you beyond Arrays.
• Practice Problems (Part 4): Practice is a key to success for Coding Interviews, Competitive Programming and Efficient Problem Solving. Practice one problem everyday by implementing the solution on your own.

As a bonus, we have provided a Mock Interview practice which will help you test your skills in one of the hardest Array based Coding Interview.
