helpless

other interview was finished 15 minutes early with 2 problem solved.

:) your experience was worse than me :)

You can reference check or see code in github. If nothing is reliable then just invite candidate and play Russian roulette :)

I can reverse a linked list even in my dreams. But I was not able to finish the coding under the pressure and time constraint. I explain all the pointer manipulation etc and interviewer was satisfied (unless he was lying :) ).

My personal view is cracking the coding interview is not a good quality book. I would prefer to read jon bentely book instead. or formally eva tardos or cormen algorithm book.

These companies has made computer science students simply dev ops who never use algorithm (except during interviews). So many computer science students don't go beyond cracking the coding interview. This is really sad.

many Indian s/w engg in USA are paying extortion money in India because of this law. Police harass and arrest old aged parent and other family member to pressurize people to send money from USA. A very big extortion racket is going on in the name of law.
