DS8 Code-Along Sessions
Collaborative Learning Sessions
Code-Along sessions provide an opportunity to practice coding together with your instructor and peers, applying the concepts learned in the modules.
Prepare For Success
For the best Code-Along experience, prepare before the session:
- Review the relevant module content and guided projects
- Download the starter code
- Make sure your development environment is set up
- Bring questions about topics you find challenging
Ideal Code-Along Preparation Checklist:
- Did you watch the guided projects before coming to class?
- Did you take the checks for understanding before coming to class?
- Did you finish your module projects before coming to class?
Code-Along: 2D Arrays and Moving Windows
Overview
In this Code-Along, you'll explore algorithms for working with 2D arrays and apply the moving window technique to solve array-based problems. These concepts are fundamental for many technical interview questions and real-world data processing tasks.
What You'll Build
You'll implement several functions that demonstrate:
- Creating and manipulating 2D arrays
- Traversing 2D arrays efficiently
- Applying moving window techniques to solve problems
- Optimizing solutions for better time and space complexity
Prepare for the Session
- Make sure you've watched the Module 3 videos on 2D arrays and moving windows
- Review your Module 3 guided project
- Clone the starter repository before the session
