it's fair game, but to have the best shot of implementing the algorithm the correct way would be to look up the algorithm definition in a reputable algorithms book and implement directly from that, doing so also provides the developer with additional knowledge and context about the algorithm's use and performance characteristics, my 2 cents
- joshuamorton 9y agoReplace "algo book" with "person asking you the question", and I see relatively little difference.
- mathgeek 9y agoOne difference is that this penalizes people with social anxiety.
- joshuamorton 9y agoDon't all in person interviews do this?
- mathgeek 9y agoSome more than others. It can be mitigated, and probably should be for certain roles.
