Did you pass the interview algorithm question? Learning algorithm questions takes too much time? Not your problem! Before this, no algorithmic learning method could be so simple and efficient. It only takes three steps to become an algorithm master: The first step is to read the question; The second step is to play the animation, refer to the subtitles, and understand the ideas and codes; The third step is to read, analyze and summarize; Why do you make an algorithm animation diagram app? Like many programmers, I have to prepare a lot of time to brush up the algorithm every time I change jobs. Very good, in the process of brushing the questions, you must first read the solution. I also read a lot of problem solutions from big guys on the Internet, and I especially like to read algorithm analysis with moving pictures or schematic diagrams, which is faster than reading text. In the process, several problems were also found, such as: the animation is not interactive and cannot be paused; the data is dead and cannot be changed; it is not convenient to study on the mobile phone, etc. I saw some good animations at the beginning, and I had a strong urge to implement them in the app with native code several times. This time I finally made up my mind and made 70 animations in one go. I understand that the positioning of this app is a tool that can help us quickly understand algorithm ideas and codes, help memory, and improve learning efficiency. But here you can't submit, you can't execute the code, and the code still needs to be typed on the computer to make it feel better. Why is it not arranged in the order of the leetcode number? At present, the algorithm questions are classified into three major blocks: - linked list, string, array, binary tree; - Backtracking, greedy, dynamic programming, divide and conquer; - Sort and classify separately. Under each category, the difficulty is divided into easy, medium and hard. First classify data structures and algorithms separately, and learn according to knowledge points. For example, you can concentrate on learning binary tree structures or dynamic programming algorithms, so that concentrated saturation training can help improve learning efficiency. The data structure comes first, and the algorithm follows, which is also arranged in the order in which we learn theoretical knowledge. In terms of algorithms, four types are currently arranged: backtracking, greedy, dynamic programming, and divide-and-conquer. When I learned data structures and algorithms many years ago, I first came into contact with various sorting algorithms. At that time, I felt that sorting was too difficult, and I was very impressed, so I made a separate sorting classification for beginners. Thinking on how to combine animation and code and other interactive issues - In the process of learning algorithms by myself, I often understand the ideas, but I can't understand the codes, and many codes in the text explanations have no comments. Seeing this is a big headache. Therefore, when thinking about App interaction, the code highlighting function is specially designed, which means that each line of code will be highlighted as the animation progresses. In this way, the animation is executing, the code is highlighted, and it looks cool. - Although the animation is easy to understand, it still needs some short explanations, so the "subtitle" function is designed below the animation. Every time the corresponding step is executed, the corresponding explanation will be displayed. - Animation playback and reset, each algorithm page has a playback function, so how to prepare test cases? To simplify the concept of test cases, a "reset" button is designed, which means that the test cases are random. When you want to change a set of data, just click reset.

Never miss a production incident again. Vedetta puts your Sentry error monitoring in your pocket, watch your org's health, triage issues from anywhere, and get pushed the moment new errors appear, from iPhone or iPad. An unofficial client for Sentry, built for the developers and on-call engineers already living in it. TRY IT FREE — NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Demo mode is free and opens the entire app on bundled sample data. Explore every screen before you connect or subscribe. MONITOR • Unresolved-issue count with an all-clear zero-state and event-volume trends • Stat tiles for Events, New, and Errors • Org-wide or per-project issue lists • Sentry query search (is:unresolved), saved searches, plus status, environment, sort, and time-range filters TRIAGE • Resolve, resolve in next release, or ignore (for an hour, a day, a week, or until 100 events / 10 users) • Assign to members and teams, set Priority (High/Medium/Low), bookmark • Swipe and context quick actions straight from the list • Every action is optimistic, with instant Undo INVESTIGATE • Severity, status, and unhandled badges, culprit, and full metrics: Events, Users affected, First/Last seen, releases, Assignee, Participants, Seen by, user reports • Sentry Seer AI fixability score • Activity feed with an inline note composer • Top tags with tag-value distributions • Jump from the latest event to the full stack trace • Copy ID, share permalink, open in browser RELEASES + CRASH-FREE HEALTH • Crash-free sessions and users over the last 7 days • Sessions crashed vs total, deploys, and per-release health REAL-TIME PUSH ALERTS • Get pushed the moment a new issue, or a regression, hits a project you watch • Choose New issues or Regressions, and which projects to watch • Manual check-now, with a background-refresh fallback • Read-only view of your Sentry server-side alert rules BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • Universal app; iPad runs a three-column, mail-style layout: Projects, Issues, Detail • Split View, Slide Over, Stage Manager, and hardware-keyboard shortcuts • Offline cache, haptics, light and dark WORKS WITH YOUR SENTRY Connect sentry.io (SaaS) or a self-hosted / custom-region install with a Sentry User Auth Token. Required scopes: org:read, project:read, event:read; add event:write, member:read, and team:read to enable triage and assignment. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No Sentry content, tokens, or account data is ever sent to us. The push relay stores only a push token and the project IDs you watch, never your issue data or your token.

Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: Algorithms at #192 against Vedetta's unranked. Algorithms also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Algorithms sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Vedetta sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
