The ultimate guide to help you ace your coding interview!
Are you getting ready to face a coding interview?
Do you wonder what is involved in the interview?

Coding interviews really are just interviews for a job, but they differ in that they are incredibly technical, and you need to know how to solve programs, turn your solutions into working code and make sure your solution is the best it can be – without making any mistakes. Coding interviews are typically several rounds, and each round needs its own specific preparation. You have no idea what questions you are likely to be asked, which is why I have written his guide.

Programmers and developers consider the coding interview one of the toughest interview rounds because it doesn’t just assess their ability to make decisions, solve problems, and write code; it also assesses their intelligence, logical thinking, and interpersonal skills. Before you attend any coding interview, you need to be fully prepared to face anything the interviewers might throw your way. Cracking coding interviews is not as easy as getting through other job interviews because you are working with complex problems, algorithms, and scenarios that you can only solve with strong logical and technical skills.

What is the best programming language to use in your coding interview? And does it even matter which one you use? The short answer to that is yes, it does matter. Most companies will allow you to use a programming language of your choice unless they use a specific one. The only real exception to that is Google, where candidates must choose between Python, Java, jаvascript, and C++. However, the language you choose can impact your performance more than you would believe possible. This is why choosing the right programming language at the start of your interview preparation is critical, as is using it regularly to get used to it.
