#

Mid way through they tried helping me by saying think of it this way , I ended up creating classes because of that but then they were like oh yeah I think I lead you down the wrong path of thinking

#

In the end all they wanted me to do was parse the input in a specific way but I thought the question was asking for WAYYY more than that

dusty zodiac Dec 17, 2025, 12:58 AM

#

Also how may actually get offer with 2/3 c1 my interviewer for technical rlly led me down the wrong path I got 2 qs and then quesdo code for the 3 and awnseredfollow ups
