## Coding Interview Prep

  This repository is a compilation of my solutions to the Blind 75, a list of
  common types of coding problems created by a Meta (Facebook) tech lead.

### Get Started

Install the latest version of Java.

```sh
git clone https://git.huntm.net/coding-interview.git
cd coding-interview
java <name-of-problem>
```

## Stock Picker

  This program is inspired by algorithms and design patterns taught in SOFT260
  at UNL. The application uses a dynamic programming approach to maximize the
  value determined by the user. The problem is framed as a directed acyclic
  graph, so the vertices can be explored in topological order. The vertices
  represent the money spent in USD up to that point in time. The root vertex is
  $0 and the last child visited is the total amount of money the user has to
  spend. With the dynamic programming approach, the algorithm breaks down the
  largest problem "maximize for value up to the buying power of the user" into
  smaller problems where the value is maximized for buying power less than what
  the user entered.

### Get Started
