Interesting, I was working through sedgewick course on Coursera, I hit a bit of a wall, it seemed like one of the assignments was just really badly explained. However lots of other students were fine so it's probably me. I considered getting the grokking booking instead.
What's the main difference between sedgewick and the grok algo book?
Do you remember which assignment? I did the first one, percolation and hooo boy, that was a trip. The problem statement buries the key library that you use for everything at the bottom of the page. Did get it eventually though.
Hi, yeah week 3 collinear points, I had to post a number of questions on the message board due to language being ambiguous. In the end I could only get 74 percent and I had no idea why. I spent hours and hours and hours on it.
Yes percolation was a tough first assignment.
Week two was linked lists and really straight forward.
Also I found Sedgwick's explanations too terse, I ended up on YouTube countless times watching other videos that helped me get what he was saying.
I think it's probably me though, it's a Princeton course so I guess it's aimed at the very bright!
