Cracking the Coding Interview: 189 Programming Questions and Solutions is a book by Gayle Laakmann McDowell about coding interviews.[1][2] It describes typical problems in computer science that are often asked during coding interviews, typically on a whiteboard during job interviews at big technology companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Facebook and Palantir Technologies.

First published in 2008, it has been translated into seven languages: Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Spanish, and Korean. It describes solutions to common problems set in coding job interviews.[3][4][5] The sixth edition of the textbook was published in 2015.[2]

The book has been cited in peer reviewed papers in scientific journals published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)[6][7][8][9] and PeerJ.[10][11][12][13]
