Fourteen days of drills on the patterns a coding interview actually asks for, run through nothing but plain Python and a harness built on Day 1.
This is a drill manual, not a narrative course. Every listing was executed for real through drillkit, a small timing-and-testing harness the book builds and grows across fourteen days, and every printed output block is a paste from that run. Each chapter states a rule in as few words as it can, shows the rule working in a short numbered example with its captured output, and hands it straight back as problems.
Only Python 3.11 or later is required. No package needs installing and no account needs creating. Every listing runs unchanged on Windows, macOS and Linux.
The first week builds the model and the instruments: how a score is built from four axes, complexity spoken out loud, arrays and two pointers, hash maps, sliding windows, linked lists, and stacks and monotonic structures. The second week covers trees, graphs, recursion and backtracking, sorting and binary search, dynamic programming, heaps and greedy choices, and a closing mock loop of four timed interviews.
The findings are reported as they came out. A heap-based merge loses to a single call to Python's own sort. A first-element quicksort pivot turns a fast sort thirty times slower on sorted input. Two candidates with identical, unfinished code cross a hiring threshold on one axis alone: the one who says what they would try next scores higher than the one who goes silent.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
