I have a technical interview on Monday and they were kind enough to give me a heads-up to brush up on my basic algorithms. It's been years since I looked at that kind of stuff and I'm pretty weak on it to begin with so I generally have a bad feeling about this. What's the best way to review the basics and get some practice in before Monday?

A:
Starting Project Euler might help you, also try picking up Algorithms in a Nutshell and working through those examples. Should be do-able in a weekend.

Especially the Search, Item Search and Sorting sections.

A:
Get the Algorithm Design Manual and look at the reference section. It has a nice "Problem -> Algorithm" cheat sheet.

A:
Also take a look at questions on StackOverflow that are tagged Algorithm.
They might actually turn up in the interview ;)
Best of Luck!

This SO Question would be helpful. Also, mostly you should know about
* Sorting
* Searching
* Inserting and removing from various data structures
As this are the main algorithms which are normally asked in the interviews.
*Note: This is from my personal experience and it may differ from person to person.
