> no compilation, no running code
I recently had an interview where, for the first time, the coding round was Coderpad based, which allowed me to run my code and build my solution bit by bit with instantaneous feedback.
I know for sure that I wouldn't have been able to solve that recursion problem without that live terminal. I now am going to insist on this live terminal in all of my future interviews and refuse to do any that don't employ one.
I think it helps my anxiety immensely.
- nomel 3y agoI think this is fair. But, with how simple the problem is that I give, it's a real issue if they can't read/understand the code they've written. It's simple enough that anyone should be able to mentally run the program. Regardless, I'm going to offer that as an option and see how things go. Maybe everyone will be in a better mindset, allowing me to add a bit more complexity/depth to the problem.
