Coding Puzzles and Challenges

Welcome to my curated collection of coding problems, data structures, and algorithmic challenges.

This repository serves as both a portfolio and a technical interview prep resource.
It contains:

• Implementations of coding puzzles and algorithm challenges
• Executable examples in Java 17 with Gradle
• Unit tests (JUnit) to validate correctness
• Occasional experiments with data structures and design patterns

Thank you for your interest in my work and I hope you find some insight and maybe a bit of fun.

You can find more information on my Personal Website and LinkedIn.

Getting Started

Import into IntelliJ IDEA (Gradle project) to explore interactively

Requirements

• Java 17+
• Gradle
• (Optional) IntelliJ IDEA for development

Testing

This repository uses JUnit for unit testing.

Run all unit tests

./gradlew test 

Benchmarks

This repository uses JMH (Java Microbenchmark Harness) for performance testing and benchmarking.

Run all benchmarks

./gradlew jmh

Note: This may take a long time to run

Run a specific benchmark

./gradlew jmh -Djmh.include=<BenchmarkName>

Best Practices

• Run benchmarks on a quiet system
• Close other applications
• Run multiple times to ensure consistency
• Compare results across different hardware/Java versions
• Use the baseline benchmark to measure overhead
