AI Thread Summary

For those transitioning from Java to C, it's noted that there is minimal crossover between the two languages, making it necessary to learn C from the ground up. A highly recommended resource for beginners is the book "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie (K+R), which is considered a classic in C programming education. While the discussion seeks free resources, K+R is highlighted as a foundational text for understanding C's syntax and concepts.

So really you are learning C form scratch, in which case the best source is K+R

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
