I had been using codewars, but recently the interface has been really buggy for me and it looks like the site is starting to decline. What are some excellent alternative websites for me to practice problems using: javascript, C#, C++? Something that is similar to codewars where my solutions can be graded or at least a place where I can test whether or not I got the correct result. I also use project Euler, but I want a website similar to codewars where there are interesting coding problems to solve just like we encounter on the job.

Thanks!

Hey guys any other free ressources out there like CodeWars so you can practice solving problems with a particular language?

I read that Websites like leetcode aren't representative of the type of problems that one will face in a day to day work environment. What would be a more useful way to practice coding and problem solving then?

Hi fellow problem-solvers, I graduated a bootcamp in May and have been tirelessly hunting for a job ever since. I’ve seen several people talk about improving their skills using sandbox-y websites like Leetcode. I’ve got two questions:

1. Of all the websites to practice, which is your preference and why? (Leetcode, codewars, etc…)

2. Some people in this sub have mentioned that employers seeing how much Leetcode problems they’ve solved has helped them land the job. How do you show this to a potential employer? Surely it’s not on your resume, so I’d assume you just mention it during an interview? Maybe on a cover letter?

I should mention that I am aware that the best way to improve is to consistently code and build things. I am doing this and will continue to do so, however sometimes I’d just prefer a shorter practice that isn’t relevant to the projects I’m working on.

I’m open to any answers even if it’s not relevant to the questions and more so pertaining to tips on how to get a job. Thanks in advance!

Ive had a hard time keeping my learning habits constant but Im so happy i found Codewars.com !! Solving problems (currently using Python) seems very fun and i learn fast and a lot too! I found the most effective way for me to learn apart from videos is solving problems!

Are there any good similar platforms where i can solve problems and learn further intermediate skills in my chosen language?

I'm having immense fun doing codewars and wondering if there are similar sites I can get involved with to practice and progress?

Background: Learned some very basic JAVA, JS, and C++ around 10 years ago. Been enjoying quite some Zachtronic games and other programming games recently, and decided why not get back to programming? So I picked Python and liking it so far.

I have been practicing on Codewars, it's pretty good and I am getting used to utilizing list and how things might work slightly differently in Py. However...

Many tests started to feel more like logic puzzles and IQ quizes, other than exercise that actually teaches me new concept.

Also when I looked into the "best practice" answers, most of them are written in a few obscured lines, if not single-line, I first thought "Oh so this is how coding have evolved!" I started writing a lot of shortest solutions... Turns out many people voted mostly just for the coolness(even though there is already a 'clever' vote for that), the best practice is still writing codes that's easily readible!

I will continue using Codewars, it's still great exercises. But I am looking for alternatives that can introduce me new things. I used Exercism a year ago, remembered quitting because the UI/UX isn't very intuitive and friendly. I see it renewed the website so I might give it another try. Any suggestions else? Thank you for the time

I know codewars is free vs the premium for leetcode. Which is better for someone who is a begginer to solving these sorts of problems?

Anyone recommend either of these resources? Or another one?

Looking for something I can do daily challenges to improve code writing.

Ive heard both are good. Is codewars better though because ive heard leetcode is used mostly for interview prep

I want to sign-up at CodeWars, but unfortunately, my skill level in Python/Programming is so low, that I can't get past the entry question.... Is there something similar in offering the same challenge-based learning system, but more open to lower-skilled programmers?

It's easy when you begin to read lots of tutorials and learn a lot of notions but to be blocked when you have to actually write code. Well Codewars is great to solve this issue. You have exercises, and when you solve them or give up, you see other peoples solutions ranked by good practice. Give it a try and tell me if it helped to kickstart you :)

Edit to clarify a few things :

• I don't know if it's better or worst than most other training site. I'm not an american and I live somewhere where the workplace, job interview and all doesn't have the same go-to references ; I thus thrust the other users to answer this kind of things. Thank you btw.

• As people said, this is only a step ; you'll have to work on actual projects sooner or later. As you were trapped in "theory hell", don't let yourself be trapped in a "exercises hell" of your own.

• For the "sites like that only give fancy one line answers", this is partially true : You can see all the other users answer, ranked by Clever and Good Pratice. Find which suits you best, and scroll while the things are too fancy for you to understand, or comment on a fancy one to ask adequate questions (like "what is the name of this thing, so I can educate myself with documentation" and not "please explain all of this in three simples words k thx bye". People that have a similar level to you will probably have an easy to read and understand answer if you look for it.

• I see a lot of people saying "meh, it's not that good because it doesn't teach you this kind of thing you need in a work place". I said it's cool when you begin and have theory but lacks practice. If you're in a CS related work, you don't need the basics.

• At each person it's process : Codewars might not be for you, so don't force it if you find it confusing or not quite right

• If you don't have theoric basis, also try SoloLearn on mobile.

• It is free

I'm newbie in programming and I tried Code Wars web site but I find it little bit to hard for me.Is there anything similar but more Beginner friendly.

I have used the site Edabit.com to practice coding, and it works well (except it's painfully slow when checking the code is correct). I am looking for something like edabit, some site you would recommend that are alike edabit?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a website like codewars or LeetCode where you can solve problems but you also can learn the language on the site. Like really beginner level things and it gets harder and you get more information, something like that
