Yeah you can ask for a minute, imo tho, ur first 1 min or so should be automatic:
https://www.techloop.news/p/the-framework-that-got-me-offers?r=lp6rj

Questions:

  • input / output (can i just double check)
  • if a string, is is all lower case / upper case / spaces, so on
  • if number, is it float, int, negative, positive
  • any constraints, ex if number is it > 0, >= 0, any number, so on.
  • any other edge cases

Then after that you can be like, cool.. (can i walk thro a test case just to confirm the input / output)

-> Okay, do you mind if you give me a min to think about this

(If your thought is that you need to "think" of a solid solution in the first 1-5 mins - imo you probably are doing it in a less effective way IMO) probably too focused on trying to just know the solution or code, without progressively building up towards it.

And no - progressively building towards it doesn't just mean finding the brute force solution and trying to optimize there, or trying to talk outloud as you just start randomly coding
