The expert challenge is tougher than the regular challenges designed to assess developers’ skills. Hence, developers need to know the right strategy to tackle an expert challenge. Here are the steps to tackle an expert challenge:
1. Understand the problem
Expert challenges will definitely involve very complex problems. The time limit set for the task often forces developers to rush into seeking solutions even before they fully understand the problem. However, such an approach will make the problem harder to solve. Here are the steps we recommend you take in order to understand the problem fully:
• Analyze the inputs and outputs: Spend some time checking the format of inputs that works well with the program you are about to develop. Also, check the edge cases and prepare to create an appropriate output for them in the program because it won’t be good if your program doesn’t have meaningful responses to certain input formats.
• Write some examples: Sample inputs can help you understand the nature of the problem better. Therefore, you should write out at least one example of input that matches the kind of problem you are about to solve.
2. Create a plan
No matter the experience you have, you should never jump straight into solving a problem without creating a plan. For complex problems, you may not easily come up with a plan if you think of how your codes will solve the problem.
However, when you think of how you as a human will solve the problem, you should find it easy to come up with a plan. Thereafter, you should translate the plan into pseudocode.
3. Solve the problem according to the plan
If you truly have advanced programming skills, you won’t have a hard time solving a complex problem now that you already have a plan. All you have to do at this stage is apply your knowledge to translate the pseudocode you just drafted to lines of codes.
Of course, your codes need to be readable just in case you need to review them and make a few changes along the way. When you are done solving the problem, test the solution with various formats of input to be sure everything looks great.
