I don't think it has to do with Java in particular, but rather with testing your algorithmic and problem-solving skills in general

- quaiks 12y agoYes I totally understand but I think the nature of the problems to solve in Java are not related with this complex algorithms. I mean, I have been training myself in generics, OOP, SOLID principles, Clean Code, Design Patterns, TDD, BDD and some others for the last three years. How I am supposed to show my skills in one hour resolving a low level algorithm in a web IDE (this particular case)? All my "low level thinking" is pretty oxidized. Maybe I am just wrong. A novel speaking.
- Zergy 12y agoHow are you supposed to demonstrate those skills in an hour doing anything? The only practical way to determine high level skills, such as the ones you listed, is through studying past work. The company has probably already formed an opinion on those skills and is testing to see how well rounded your skill set is.
