follow this 8 step script to not FAIL your interview

LeetCode is tough, but applying those skills in a technical interview is even harder.

Here’s my 8-step process:

Understand the Problem: Paraphrase the question to ensure clarity, and ask for details when you’re unclear
Ask Clarifying Questions: Gather details about inputs and outputs, and questions about the problem
Propose Test Cases: Suggest your own test cases to validate your assumptions. Format for text cases should be “given this input, should I expect this output?”
Cover Various Test Cases: Ensure to address: Simple cases Edge cases (mostly conditionals, and unexpected steps in the code) Medium and long cases for thorough testing.
Explain Your Algorithm: Outline your approach and thought process without getting too granular, making sure the interviewer understands your logic.
Write the Code: Translate your thoughts into code while engaging with the interviewer, providing commentary on your choices.
Walk Through the Code: Explain how your code works, using the test cases to demonstrate functionality.
Discuss Time and Space Complexity: Clearly explain your reasoning for the complexities of your solution, don’t just say O(n). Tell me what “n” means
