Coding Interview Tips

[CEO]

I would like to share coding tips during interview. If anyone has useful suggestions, please comment.

1. Have separate functions for separate logic
2. Give comments// if necessary
3. Proper variable naming Eg: var IsEligible = true, instead of var a = true
4. Use inbuilt functions instead of creating own Eg: In JS to sort use, array.sort()and focus on big problem instead of writing sort algorithm. Ofcourse don't use sort() if question itself is sorting.

Hope it helps!

Very helpful and concise advice. I suggest updating the thread frequently as to make it a more comprehensive guide (especially for beginners) and also a comfortable place for discussion. Course recommendation regarding this topic would also make a great addition.

Adding few more tips during coding interview,

1. Showcase the tech stack of your personal projects. Helpful to keep coding round within your strong languages.
2. Solve problem in at least more than 1 DS and show trade-offs. Any prob can be solved in all DS!

Hope it helps!
