Learn essential coding patterns to answer problems and prepare for tech companies' interviews.

Ace the JavaScript Coding Interview

This module teaches us the underlying patterns behind common coding interview questions. By learning these essential patterns, we'll be able to unpack and answer any problem the right way—just by assessing the problem statement. This approach was created by FAANG hiring managers to help us prepare for the typical rounds of interviews at major tech companies like Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon.

By the end of this module, we'll have the skills we need to unlock even the most challenging questions, grok the coding interview, and level up our career with confidence.

Coding Interview Patterns

# Statement

Find the $k^{th}$ smallest element in an $(n \times n)$ matrix, where each row and column of the matrix is sorted in ascending order.

Although there can be repeating values in the matrix, each element is considered unique and, therefore, contributes to calculating the $k^{th}$ smallest element.

**Constraints:**

* `n` $==$ `matrix.length`
* `n` $==$ `matrix[i].length`
* $1\leq$ `n` $\leq100$
* $-10^3\leq$ `matrix[i][j]` $\leq10^3$
* $1\leq$ `k` $\leq n^2$

# Examples

Try to solve the Kth Smallest Element in a Sorted Matrix problem.
