About the JavaScript (coding): data structures & data types test
JavaScript is a multi-paradigm coding language once focused solely on client-side web page behavior but is now embedded across desktop, mobile, and server applications. Recently, the language has been evolving very fast with the introduction of classes, generators, arrow functions, and many other features.
Working with and implementing data structures is crucial to the success of a developer. An effective data structure will enable you to effectively manage, organize, and represent your data. Data structures are often implemented as objects, so the ability to effectively work with objects and understand object-oriented programming is an important skill to have.
This coding test presents a real-life scenario to your candidates. They have 30 minutes to implement a data structure that meets the given requirements. Candidates can run the code against a selected number of test cases to see if they are on track. After submission, the code is automatically scored based on another set of test cases that also covers exceptions or corner cases. You will be able to play back how the code came about in the coding editor.
This test allows the candidate to showcase their knowledge about data structures in general, their ability to identify common problems, and their ability to solve those problems efficiently with JavaScript specific solutions.
We recommend combining this coding test with other tests evaluating the candidate's analytical and algorithmic thinking.
