Coderpad Interviews
While leetcoding, leetcode provides the boilerplate code (main, parsing code etc). What are the expectations in Coderpad interviews like that with Facebook? Is the boilerplate provided or am I supposed to write it as well? Am I supposed to compile and run on a real testcase? Is the testcase provided? #facebook #amazon #google #leetcode #coderpad
Facebook doesn't compile or run your code. What would you need boiler plate for?
That was the question: does it require you to compile and run?
Nah
I didn't run my code, the interviewer was knowledgeable enough to go over the logic of my code. But generally speaking you don't want to waste time writing include statements and things like that. Just focus on the core logic by building one or two functions that accomplish the job
I have done dozens of those. There are companies that do run it and you do need to include the libraries. Just double check with your interviewer. And yes you write really simple test cases in your main method. No fancy unit test. Simply print out stuff
My experience with FEE interviews, FB does not turn on compiling feature of Coderpad. Interviewers will just read through your code, so be wary of edge cases. Do not expect any boilerplate beyond expected input/output - problems are given verbally. Didn't need to write any test cases, at most it was just talking through them. If you don't know a specific API, it's usually fine as long as the logic is sound. However, you should have a solid grasp of core language APIs.
Nobody runs code
Wrong,recently interviewed at twitter and Apple, both asked to compile and run
Were they using coderpad at Apple and Twitter or was it something else?
Same question. Also what about libraries, remember them too?
