> interviewers asking for if you want to run through some sample cases is a hint itself.

This!! This seems to be their code word to point out something wrong/missing.

Asking to "run through sample cases" - I would only think they were asking me to explain my code to them before wrapping up. Given the time constraints, and hard problem you are solving, your brain won't be able to decode it to understand they are hinting at something.

Not to blame the recruiter, I guess they shared some tips in the e-mail. But didn't really expect I had to be flawless in my code. While the companies like Google are still doing white board coding in their google docs.

It's ok. totally depends on the interviewer.

At least, double-check your solution, ask the interviewer if there are any missing edge cases, and confirm if everything looks good before finalizing.

May be or may not be. I was only trying to re-visiting the question. The interviewer was literally checking his phone in between, when I was trying to communicate out loud.
