Create leetcode.com account
-
You are expected to submit in a specified Google form: https://forms.gle/jkoRpZ7yZoQYSYjY7
-
link to the problem
-
Print page showing your solution and submission statistics *Like this: Path Sum III - Submission Detail - LeetCode.pdf
-

Rules:
- Do not just copy the public solutions or what ChatGPT tells you. We will make an effort to find out and you will be penalized as per academic integrity guidelines. Do not try to get easy points by cheating, it is not the purpose of the HW tasks.
- Have fun and try to beat the world!
- Your submission will ideally be accepted by leetcode, but send us your best attempt regardless, you can still get the points. If anything, try to optimize run time, do not worry about memory.
- You will struggle, but if you solve many of those, your next stop is Google cafeteria as an employee!
- If you cannot decide, there is a shuffle button which will pick something for you.
-
HW 1 (1 pts):
- Choose one of the easy problems. Have fun and send us how far you have got!
- Example: Two Sum
- Choose one of the easy problems. Have fun and send us how far you have got!
-
HW 2 (2 pts):
- One easy or one Medium problem
- Example: Medium: Parentheses
- One easy or one Medium problem
-
HW 3 (2 pts):
- One easy or one Medium problem
- Must be from Pandas set of problems
The course is designed for students who have at least some basic coding experience. It does not need to be very advanced, but they should be aware of concepts such as for
loop ,if
and else
,variable
or function
.
No knowledge of Python is required to enter the course.
Passing the course is rewarded with 5 ECTS credits.
