Not too many posts like mine: I bombed an easy question and feel like I wasted an opportunity!\n\n\nDidn\'t even finish the first question:\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/add-strings/\n\nWrinkle was with floating point numbers.\n\nFor some reason got out of sorts and then couldn\'t even think straight and wasted 25 mins stuck on padding the string and finding the decimal point.  Really simple stuff, but I found that talking out loud and having someone watch and listen to you is very disconcerting to me. Not used to it at all. I think I\'ll be doing a few practice interviews with an actual person before my next real one.\n\nI completed the problem in about 5 mins this morning, but realized I lean way too heavily on compiling to find errors. I need to focus on writing every line correctly instead of just pushing submit on leetcode and fixing the couple of errors I find.\n\nSo, don\'t be me and underestimate how much you lean on a compiler and how difficult it can be to actually "code out loud".\n\nBest of luck!
