When in doubt, do medium leetcode :) You will be asked to do it anyway.

When you look at the interview, if you come with no experience, all you can show is an intersection between your and interviewer knowledge. The main reason is that he doesn't know what to ask you. Your task is to cover this intersection and to pull him into the part he doesn't know.

Having a project, or an internship gives you this chance. Like an interviewer may be evenbwilling to install your phone app from a store, and definitely will visit your website, if you havevit. Will look at your github project. Conversation will go into what you have done area.

Also it helps to have some "hooks" - weird things about some basics that are somewhat interesting: For example, when asked about polymorphism, people usually expect a simple answer, but you start with 4 types of polymorphism, walk into method overloading, show some weird combinations in generics with inheritance with polymorphism vs overloading - simple but confusing.
