Having solved a problem on whiteboard, the solution looked ugly. Reason it looked ugly is because I used variable names like i, j, k, did not adhere to OO principles and messed up indentations. All these, because I did not have an IDE and w

As a person who successfully solved a problem but was rejected because of coding style (on a whiteboard, not on IDE), I am respectfully wary of the term "removal of ambiguity".

Doesn't matter! You'll still be asked to write perfect code, with awesome variable names, on a whiteboard, with eyes closed. Don't forget to do handstands to stand out from the crowd.
