I read the first chapter first, and I looked over several chapters according to interest. The first chapter begins with the task of dealing with Fibonaccis, primes, and permutations. In the middle, there are various tasks such as handling strings. Solving several quizs is certainly not an exciting process, but I felt that these challenge really matters to me. It may not be suitable for people who want to do something in a short time. It seems to be the right book for those who want to improve their problem solving skills over time.
