# 增强学习成果 有一个研究成果,在学习中传授他人知识和讨论是最高效的做法,而看书则是最低效的做法(具体研究成果没找到地址).我写LeetCode博客主要目的是增强学习成果.当然,我也想出名,然而不知道能否出名. # 给算法的新手们提供一种思考方式的参考 提前说明,本人也不是高手. 算法这个东西有点玄乎.很多新手(包括我)初期入门的时候都学的是<算法导论>,然而我并不觉得<算法导论>是一本学习算法很好的书. 我们设计算法的流程,并不是像<算法导论>那样,好像天生就知道这…

最近刷LeetCode比较频繁,就购买了官方的参考电子书 (CleanCodeHandbook),里面有题目的解析和范例源代码,可以省去非常多寻找免费经验分享内容和整理这些资料的时间.惊喜的是,里面的所有源代码都是用java语言写的. 接下来的一段时间里,我会将里面的大部分内容翻译成中文,再加上一些小y自己的解法和扩展内容,以博客的形式发在博客园.我想,这会是一件非常有趣的事情. 以下是翻译的前言部分,第1.4题以及其解析部分. 前言: 嗨,各位刷LeetCode的小伙伴们. 就像你们看到这本书…

2015年即将过去,最近在回顾和总结过去一年的工作经历,发现自己并不能算是一名合格的程序员. Google某前员工Lucida在文章<白板编程访谈——Why,What,How>当中写道: 程序员可以被分为两种: 先确认前条件/不变式/终止条件/边界条件,然后写出正确的代码 先编写代码,然后通过各种用例/测试/调试对程序进行调整,最后得到似乎正确的代码 我个人保守估计前者开发效率至少是后者的10倍,因为前者不需要浪费大量时间在编码-调试-编码这个极其耗时的循环上. 很不幸的是,我觉得自己应该被归…
