C++ - using built-in types, like STL's std::list for a linked list
|

Python - without using built-in types

and write tests to ensure I'm doing it right, keep it simple with just assert() statements

You may do Java or something else, this is just my thing.
|

Each subject does not require a whole day to be able to understand it fully.
|
||||
Why code in all of these?
|
||||
Practice, practice, practice, until I'm sick of it, and can do it with no problem (some have many edge cases and bookkeeping details to remember)
|
||||
Work within the raw constraints (allocating/freeing memory without help of garbage collection (except Python))
|
||||
Make use of built-in types so I have experience using the built-in tools for real-world use (not going to write my own linked list implementation in production)
|
||||
|
||||
You don't need to memorize the guts of every algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
Write code on a whiteboard, not a computer. Test with some sample inputs.
|
||||
Then test it out on a computer to make sure it's not buggy from syntax.
