I would like an in-depth explanation of how the interview score is calculated. I know it doesn't matter that much, but part of it is because I'm curious. I've noticed that:
- More time taken = lower score
- More incorrect submissions = much, much lower score
Now here are a few guesses:
- Difficulty of problems doesn't affect score, only percentile
- More code runs leads to slightly lower score?
Also, percentile seems a bit fishy. I got an interview score of 9.84/10, 99 percentile on two easy problems for 3 minutes 34 seconds with 1 submission and a few runs each. These were both really easy questions that could be solved in 1 or 2 very short lines. 3 minutes 34 seconds really isn't fast, I was typing on a touch screen. I feel like lots more people on leetcode are much smarter than me, and the 99 percentile doesn't make much sense. Maybe the smart people already have jobs?
