Does it really measure IQ? Memorizing the most common algorithms and data structures will eventually land you a good job if you try several times. For example:

Does it really measure IQ? Memorizing the most common algorithms and data structures will eventually land you a good job if you try several times. For example: Binary search Tree traversals Graph searches Sort algorithms Interesting Trees(Trie, RedBlack, etc) Etc many other common data structures or algorithms If you memorize the implementation of those. You only need to make sure you understood the problem and check for edge cases. What I have seen is that a lot of people struggle in the interview because they lose a lot of time trying to implement the algorithms but sometimes know how to get there
