A Collection of Dynamic Programming Interview Questions Solved in C++ Paperback – March 21, 2014

Not well formatted on the Kindle. Also doesn't set up the questions very well. For example, there is a section titled "Bridge Matching - n cities are on the northern bank of a river and n cities are on the southern bank. You can only build a bridge between cities of the same number.". Then it just jumps into the solution. From reading the solution, you see that there was actually a question in there, but as stated it's not obvious what's being asked. In the palindrome examples, DP is used when a pair of nested loops would have done just fine with no storage overhead, and would be easier to come up with. Then there are some times when complexity is spoken of, without mentioning space or time. That would be fine if it was implicitly time complexity, but it's space complexity that's being implicitly referred to.I have enjoyed working through each problem.They are fun. But the book could have used a lot of editing.

4 Stars :More than anything, I enjoyed the quality of code. C++ implementation at its best.Issues :At first, I was annoyed with the way the kindle version came out - Character spacing, page layout made it annoying, despite the quality of problems and the way the code was structured.A Physical book made it comfortable to read, without getting distracted by the page layout issues in the Kindle version.Note to Author : It would be really helpful if Kindle versions of the book had proper page layout and structured code snippets like Scott Meyers C++ kindle version.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1491903996?keywords=modern%20effective%20c%2B%2B&qid=1453908360&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1More than anything, I enjoyed the way the code was structured.

This book could be an excellent resource... if only the author put more time into explaining the problems and the solution. The book covers 36 different dynamic programming problems, and based on that number, you may assume (as I did) that this is a fairly hefty book. I was surprised when I got it in the mail and found it to be a slim 61 pages. Many of the problems only provide two or three sentences to describe both the problem and the solution, before diving straight into the code. I found that these short descriptions were inadequate, forcing me to carefully read and understand the code, not only to understand the dynamic programming solution, but often, just to fully understand the problem that's being asked. At the very least, the book should explain the problem clearly before presenting the solution.For the price, it's a good value, but I would not mind paying much more for a book with more thorough explanation of the problems and solutions.

The contents are good. The kindle version is not readable

Good collection of problems .Presentation needs to improve though.

Positive1. Good collections of examples2. Nice pattern - Problem, Solution, Code and complexity3. less mathematical4. Short, clean and quick to read, Good color print - blueNegativeThe only issue is that it is only in C++, not in java.

Mostly collection of dynamic programming around web with different approach and not compatible with Kindle app.

Very useful book, I really loved it! Thanks!

Just purchased the Kindle version. It contains typos, including in code (for example, it "calculates" Cn,k for k > n). Also, the rendering of Kadane's algorithm is incorrect as well (misplaced <= for >=). But otherwise very useful, a much needed book.

Good book but expensive contains around 50 problems.
