coderpad interview

I am finding it difficult to implement an algorithm during the telephonic coderpad Interview.Reason: cannot debug some odd cases. I am using local build setup netbeans and finding same problem doable as i can debug easily. But it is bit weird as the interviewer cannot see wht i am doing..Wht to do!!

Aww sweetie, so why not just start practicing on coderpad then. Typical first world problems

.so u think u can solve any algo without debugging..

I cannot. But here is the deal. The COMPANY in which YOU want job wants you to write code in coderpad. So just start practicing that. Cribbing about it on Blind is not going to help you. So now just TC and GTFO.

... you do know you can run your code on coderpad right?

how u guys are handling recursion and array index out of range issues on coderpad.Need some debugging thr.

Just some practice and you should be able to code those. It’s not that hard to run the corner cases in your head

m not cribbing, just looking for some suggestion and if anybdy else faced this problem.End of the day that is the last solution.

printf debugging is the way to go

also assuming you’re using java, get familiar with the library coderpad allows (e.g. guava)

When I was interviewing, I started practicing code in notepad++ and looking up required methods in the java docs. It took a little while but ploughing through java docs I just got used to writing fully compilable code without an editor. It is the only way to go in my opinion. It’s not as hard as it seems...just keep leetcoding and it will become second nature. Good luck!

If you’re running into those kind of issues it may be good to look into ways to implement a solution that help prevent those type of simple mistakes. I usually find that people make those errors when they are trying to implement a solution in a non-systematic or naive way.
