The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
I think i do make silly mistakes while solving a problem during interview, which i don’t do while writing a real code as i would have chance to test it and write UT etc.... Well, during interview I would revisit my code but sometimes due to limitation of time, i do miss to capture some of my silly mistakes (e.g used ‘<‘ where it should be ‘<=‘) and if the interwiewer interrupts or catches it, your chances to be selected gets narrow. Have solved ~200 leetcode medium and hard problems but i think i loose chance due to my silly mistakes which i have to work upon. Looking for some recommendations what do you do to avoid mistakes during interview. How do you cover all edge cases if you haven’t solved that problem before and other useful tips for interview.

Need to perfect it. There are many people interviewing for these roles and given a choice between you and someone else who doesn't have all these mistakes, they will choose the latter. That's the unfortunate reality of an LC interview.
And they've raised the bar so high. It's like if u cough like a couple of times during interviews they be like this guy is sick and want to pass on
Do you practice coding on a whiteboard? Do you do in person mock interviews? It sounds like your issue is that you study hard, but don't replicate the actual environment that you will be interviewing in.
Would start on whiteboard 🙂. Thanks for advice
If you run through a test case, you will likely catch the error. But usually you fail the interview for reasons other than missing an equals sign. As an interviewer I am looking for a correct algorithm, readable code and how quickly it is done.
I made silly mistakes like these on most of my interviews and still got offers. Interviewers are humans too most of the time.
Only one recommendation: TC or GTFO
