Add a solution to a common interview question

[JingMa87]

The goal of this project is to make common implementations of interview questions available to the general public. The general rule to contribute is that your code has to solve a common interview question. The guideline for what's a common question is the book 'Cracking the Coding Interview' by Gayle McDowell which you can find here. I don't accept pull request for very specialized algorithms and data structures. In case you're not sure whether you should contribute certain code, discuss it with me first.

Good luck hackers! 😄 💯

Should it be in Java 8/Java7 ?

[minibhati93]

Can the solutions be in Python 2.7? Also, is there a specific list of problems that you are expecting?

[JingMa87]

@erriapo In Java 8!
@minibhati93 I only accept pull requests in Java 8 and you can check out the book I linked before for common questions. You can find a free pdf version online. 👍

@JingMa87 Can we add multiple questions?

@rmcute You can add multiple questions if you want. 😋
