Typescript Coding Challenges

This repository is a collection of Typescript coding challenges I bumped into, which I've found interesting to solve. Some of these might be "snack" challenges and others might need a bit more thought.

Please do check the amazing interview-ready repo from Silver.dev which inspired me to start this project.

Right now there might not be a quite lot of exercises, but I think it will grow in the future.

The idea

There are two main folders on this repo, challenges and solutions, and as you might have figured out, the challenges have the templates for you to solve them, and the solutions have emm.. a solution I came up with.

The intention for this is just to practice and to try to find an ingenious and clean solution. I have no intention of making my solutions to be comparable with LeetCode scores. If you want that type of challenge, feel free to go to LeetCode instead.

In order to use this repo, I'd suggest you to fork this repo, then clone it and set it up, for example with npm by running:

npm install

then you can run any individual test by:

npm run test -- [pattern]

where pattern is an optional parameter to use as a partial match on the challenge file you want to test, for example:

npm run test -- closest-pair

will run the tests for the challenge located at:

challenges/recursion/closest-pair.ts

There's also coverage tests available with:

npm run test:coverage -- [pattern]

Solved challenges

I'd recommend to try solving these challenges by yourself, without AI or any assistance except for MDN's Javascript and Typescript documentation. You can always look for solutions afterwards, or looking into the solutions provided in this repo.

Similar to the test scripts above, there's a set of tools for testing the included solutions, like:

npm run test:solutions -- [pattern]

and

npm run test:solutions:coverage -- [pattern]

Have fun

I hope you find this useful and have fun solving the different challenges. Please reach me at marcos@rigoli.dev or create a PR with suggestions, but if you do, please take the time to present it with the proper tests, both in the challenges and solutions with a clean prompt.

Cheers!
