JavaScript Practice Set – Mock Interview Script & Exercises (50+ Problems with Code Solutions)
✅ Mock Interview Script Format
Instructions for interviewer: 1. Choose problems based on the candidate's experience level. 2. For
each problem, ask the candidate to: - Understand the problem statement. - Write the code from scratch.
- Debug any issues during implementation. - Optimize the solution where possible. 3. After each
problem, ask about time and space complexity. 4. Discuss edge cases and input validation. 5. Encourage
writing tests to verify the solution.
