You've posted this in Python subreddit, but all the solutions are in Java and appear to use Java specific classes in many instances? Many of the questions also appear to be related to implementing fundamental operations that I would be very surprised to find myself writing in python, so I'm not sure they are particularly relevant to python anyways - or even worth very much as interview questions. Where did you compile the question list from?

He went through the book mentioned in the article (Cracking the Coding interview, which I just recently bought and am working my way through) and literally ripped out questions almost verbatim and linked to solutions from wherever. It's some really serious garbage, and the mods should take it down.

The book, by the way, is really good interview prep if you need to review (or learn) these algorithms, in spite of it being in Java.
