In an interview you are trying to show that you understand the problem. Not just get the right answer.

- zeemonkee3 10y agoHow do I know that? What is the interviewer looking for? Maybe in company A they are looking for developers who come up with a solution on their own and don't rely on external libraries or Google. Maybe company B don't like developers reinventing wheels and prefer they at least research prior art first. I don't know what kind of culture your company has, but at the very least out of courtesy you can signal what the requirements are in your test.
