Generally, when it comes to coding, I'll ask the interviewer if we can just do it on my laptop in a real development environment. Nobody actually codes on a whiteboard, so why should it happen in an interview? I want to play with the code, reason about it, refactor it as my understanding of the problem space expands. I can't do that on a whiteboard.
