HOW TO CRACK CODING INTERVIEW.....!!!!

Before you start coding

• Make sure you understand the problem. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Specifically, if any of the problem requirements seem loosely defined or otherwise unclear, ask your interviewer to make things more concrete. There is no penalty for asking for clarifications, and you don’t want to miss a key requirement or proceed on unfounded assumptions.
• Work through simple examples. This can be useful both before you begin and after you’ve finished coding. Working through simple examples before coding can give you additional clarity on the nature of the problem — it may help you notice additional cases or patterns in the problem.
• Make a plan. Be wary of jumping into code without thinking about your program’s high-level structure. You don’t have to work out every last detail (this can be difficult for more meaty problems), but you should give the matter sufficient thought. Without proper planning, you may be forced to waste your limited time reworking significant parts of your program.
• Choose a language. At Palantir, we don’t care what languages you know as long as you have a firm grasp on the fundamentals (decomposition, object-oriented design, etc.). That said, you need to be able to communicate with your interviewer, so choose something that both of you can understand. In general, it’s easier for us if you use Java or C++, but we’ll try to accommodate other languages. If all else fails, devise your own pseudo-code. Just make sure it’s precise (i.e.
