Ask HN: Short Programming Problems

5 points by mikeboydbrowne ↗ HN
I'm a CS student working for an investment bank this summer and I want to make sure that I write a little code (~10min) every day. Is there a book/online list of problems I can draw from this summer

Generally, just searching for CS interview questions should give you a good number of questions which you should be able to spend a short amount of time on daily.
If there's any piece of open-source software that you like and use, maybe you could try to fix some bugs for that? Once you know a project, it's possible that each bug would take only a few minutes, especially if it's new and growing.

It's also a great boost for your resume.

There is a constant stream of 10 minute challenges on StackOverflow.

Many good problems there regularly.

The C Programming Language, Second Edition; Ritchie and Kernighan; has end of section and end of chapter problems that are pretty good. Especially if you want to learn C.
