JavaScript and Python Solutions for Coderbyte Challenges

Never fail a Coderbyte interview again! This repository offers comprehensive JavaScript and Python solutions to coding challenges from coderbyte.com. It includes unit tests and a script to scaffold new challenge templates efficiently.

Features

• Solutions to Coderbyte challenges in both JavaScript and Python.
• Unit tests implemented with Jest for JavaScript and pytest for Python.
• generate.js script to quickly create new problem and test file templates.
• Challenges organized by difficulty levels: easy, medium, and hard.

Tech Stack

• Languages: JavaScript (primary), Python
• Testing: Jest (JavaScript), pytest (Python)
• Runtime: Node.js for running scripts and tests

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (for JavaScript environment)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• Python 3
• pip3 (Python package manager)

• generate.js: Node.js script to scaffold new challenge files and tests.

Future Work / Roadmap

• Add more Python solutions and corresponding unit tests to balance language support.
• Enhance generate.js to support Python template generation.
• Integrate continuous integration workflows for automated testing.
• Expand documentation with usage examples and coding standards.
• Add performance benchmarks for select algorithms.

This repository is designed to be a practical resource for preparing coding interviews on coderbyte.com with ready-to-run solutions and tests in two popular languages.
