Complete String Problems & Resources Guide
· 19 min read
Hey everyone! Strings are arguably the most frequently tested topic in technical interviews and competitive programming. I've spent years mastering string algorithms, and I want to share a complete roadmap that covers everything from basic manipulation to advanced pattern matching algorithms.
String problems aren't just about manipulating characters. They require understanding hashing, pattern matching, dynamic programming, sliding windows, two pointers, and even advanced algorithms like KMP, Z-algorithm, and suffix arrays. Master strings, and you'll have a massive advantage in any coding challenge.
