After waking up, I coded ["sort +anagrams"](https://github.com/ultimatecoder/cracking_the_coding_interview/pull/9) +problem from Cracking the coding interview book. Then I rushed to co-working +space quickly. + +## First half + +It was fucking unproductive day. I was only able to solve 2 problems Today. I am +not sure, but this can be because all of them were medium level difficulty. + +[Max Array Sum](https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/max-array-sum/problem) +this problem took all of my energy. I was feeling weak because I was not able to +solve this problem. In this problem I have to generate all subsets in which +elements are not adjacent of each other. I tried by nested looping way, but very +soon I realized it was not going in a right direction and it was looking fuzzy. + +Then I decided to read my old backtracking code. When I opened, I found non of +my backtracking code at place. I then started reading Backtracking chapter from +Programming challenges book. I was lost, despite doing same thing back, I was +not able to even generate sub sets of given set. This was total confusing. + +Extrema headache was there. This can be because of my less sleep. + +## Second half + + +I took late evening nap. It helped me to refresh my mind. I think I should start +taking noon naps just to refresh my mind. + +Goscale has scheduled an interview with me at 6:00 AM, but they didn't called +me. I tried to reach their HR, but even she didn't picked my calls. Lately I +received a call from her. She apologized and told me to give my availability +tomorrow. If I will clear this round, then I will be invited to on-site +interview round on this Saturday. + +Because my interview was cancelled, I tried to practice some Graph questions. I +tried o solve [Roads and +Libraries](https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/torque-and-development) +problem. I was kind of lost in this. I don't know, but this was looking too +difficult problem for me. I tried to think in different way, finally I decided +to review Graph algorithms from Introduction to Algorithm book and ask regarding +this at IRC. + +Most of the time, Hackerrank medium category questions are not involving +something difficult. According to one geek at ##algorithms, I can solve this +problem by simple DFS or BFS method. After reading his reply, I tried to think +on that approach too, but it didn't lead to any conclusion. + +Tomorrow I will fight for medium category Hackerrank questions. I have to apply +existing resources. I will try to revise things and re-apply it. + +Subham has invited me for Data wire position of Software Engineer. I got an +email invitation from HR of Data wire that she need to talk with me regarding +opening at Data wire. This conversation should aim half an hour. This is going +similar to what Canadian company to which I was interviewed way back. + +From my Today's unproductively, I am realizing that sleep is an important +factor. If you are taking less sleep than your day is simply un-productive. My +eyes was felt streested, brain was even facing difficulty to function properly. +Tomorrow I will try my best to complete my sleep cycles. + + +## Tomorrow + +* I will revise backtracking problems. I will revise how to generate sub sets of +given sets. + +* Tomorrow I will give test of Air Asia first. I have to complete this test any +how by tomorrow. + +* Tomorrow I have to complete Booking.com test.
