If the interviewer is a good interviewer - they inadvertently gave the candidate an oportunity to demonstrate a range of skills.
An outstanding candidate when questioned would mention that in most languages this evalates to that, but in python it evaluates to this, and offer an alternate method chaining and's on the spot in response to the confustion.
If they are a bad interviewer - they would allow their ego to derail the interview.
- necovek 2y agoAn outstanding candidate might be an average candidate in a wrong setting. With my last job, I fumbled an easy question for me that I usually wouldn't, but it was a 10pm interview after I got up at 4am that morning and have almost fallen asleep when putting my kids to sleep at 9pm. I got the job (and then got promoted twice in 18 months), but if interviewer "inadvertently" confused me on top of my mental state, it might have been game over for me (and them, since I turned out to be an "outstanding" candidate).
