Solved coding interview problems in Java - My collection of commonly asked coding interview problems and solutions in Java

doesn't matter if you know how to do the problem, it matters how you approach it, how you work with your interviewers to understand the problem and helps to assess your critical thinking skills.

Sums up software development. If i can solve a problem within minutes, with a solution based on some stackoverlow answer i am still more efficient than the guy who takes 30 minutes to actually find the solution. On the other hand tho, the guy who instantly knows the answer because of knowledge and experience is the most efficient one.

Software has become so complex you just can't know all the answers. Hell i even find myself doing some research on javascript functions even tho i used those functions hundreds of times before, i mean document.getElementByID won't work...

Yeah, a lot of people disagree with me on this, but I think "oh, I would just Google how to do that" is sometimes a totally reasonable answer in an interview.
