Google Foobar

Google Foobar is a mysterious coding challenge platform launched by Google. It’s designed to identify exceptional engineering talent through a series of progressively difficult coding problems. The platform’s unique approach involves inviting users to solve challenges directly via the Google Search page, adding an element of intrigue and surprise.

I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to Google Foobar. The initial challenge was a simple warm-up, but subsequent levels escalated in complexity, requiring me to delve into various algorithms and data structures.

Throughout my journey, I faced a diverse range of problems, from graph traversal and dynamic programming to string manipulation and number theory. Each challenge presented a unique opportunity to test my problem-solving skills and explore new coding techniques.

With dedication and perseverance, I managed to successfully solve all the challenges presented by Google Foobar. It was a rewarding experience that allowed me to showcase my coding abilities and learn new maths concepts.

If you’re a passionate coder looking for a stimulating challenge, Google Foobar is definitely worth exploring. It’s a great way to test your skills, learn new concepts, and potentially open doors to exciting opportunities. Unfortunately, Google shut down the platform, and the challenges are no longer available. You can still try them by taking a look at the challenge texts in my GitHub repo, by clicking the link at the top of this post.
