Alpha - Java Placement Course
A collection of Java solutions from Shradha Khapra's Alpha placement prep course — arrays, sorting, trees, backtracking, greedy, the usual DSA circuit. This is student notes made public, not a teaching resource designed for outside consumption.
- Covers the core placement syllabus topics in a logical progression — basics through graphs and backtracking — so the scope is right for interview prep.
- Concrete problem files (NQueens, SudokuSolver, TrappingRainWater, SlidingWindowMax) rather than just concept stubs; the code actually exists.
- Community contribution model means gaps get filled organically — 188 forks and a note explicitly inviting PRs keeps it from going stale as fast as a solo-maintained course.
- Committed .class bytecode files and .DS_Store junk throughout — nobody cleaned up before pushing, which tells you the repo was never meant for external use.
- Folder named '12_LinkedList.java' — a directory with a .java extension — suggests zero quality control on structure; spaces in folder names like '2_Basic Sorting' will bite anyone on case-sensitive filesystems.
- No explanations, comments, or problem statements anywhere near the code. Without the accompanying video lectures, the files are nearly useless standalone — you're reading decontextualised solutions.
- OOP, time/space complexity, and graphs are explicitly missing per the README. For placement prep, skipping complexity analysis is a significant gap.
