Software job interviews often involve some sort of coding challenge. It’s a great way to test and see if you can code simple programming tasks that are necessary for the job. It’s also a great way for a company to see how you think. Resumes are not always great indicators of your programming skills and so how you perform on a coding challenge can make or break your interview.

Coding challenges are also a great way to get better at programming. They help you think programmatically and strategically. It also helps you learn how to code things faster.

They are usually very short, challenging, and fun. Practicing some coding challenges will definitely help prepare you for your next interview!

In this video, we will go through a coding challenge from Google together. You can see how I think through it and hopefully pick up some programming skills along the way 🙂

Have fun!
