Is HackerRank a good way to learn how to program? I'm aware that HackerRank is generally used by employers to see how skilled a potential employee is. For someone like me who's in high school and coding leisurely (and professionally in the near future), would HackerRank be a good way to learn?
Is hackerrank hard or am I just a bad programmer? I've been working through HackerRank (for like almost a year now) and recently I've been focusing on the mathematics, functional programming, and algorithms sections (I've already completed python and regex).
Hackerrank has way better structures set up to teach you syntax, data structures, and common algorithms. Leetcode needs you to know your programming language of choice well and to understand the DSandA.
If you don't finish the coding challenge on HackerRank, is it pretty much guaranteed you won't get the job? I've done 2 coding challenges on HackerRank so far as part of interview processes and both times, I was unable to complete the challenge.
Some FYI about the HackerRank platform (I never used it at IBM, though): Basic IDE with some auto complete and errors, so hopefully syntax isn't an issue. I do worry you'll find the exercise exceptionally difficult if you need to look up basic syntax. the "report" for the grader, or whatever, does show everything you typed over time.
In the starting page/instructions of the Hackerrank, it says: However, when I was actually doing the assessment (I finished it already), it seems I had the option to do all 3 options?
Coding Challenges: For technical roles, you may be asked to solve coding challenges with real-time feedback powered by HackerRank. Prepare for HackerRank challenges here. You might be asked to participate in a technical interview within an interactive environment, done by our hiring team.
I am in the interview process for a Backend Engineer/Associate Integrations Engineer position and as part of that process I must do a 90-min HackerRank assessment with a follow up Interview to review my results. The assessment is 6 questions, 5 multiple choice and 1 Java coding question.
Hey, I had an interview for what I considered my dream company. It’s a prestigious startup doing exactly what I wanted. The screener call with a founding engineer went really well, the next step was a hackerrank.
