Is HackerRank a good way to learn how to program? I'm aware that HackerRank is generally used by employers to see how skilled a potential employee is. For someone like me who's in high school and coding leisurely (and professionally in the near future), would HackerRank be a good way to learn?
Is hackerrank hard or am I just a bad programmer? I've been working through HackerRank (for like almost a year now) and recently I've been focusing on the mathematics, functional programming, and algorithms sections (I've already completed python and regex).
3 weeks ago, I applied to Tiktok's Frontend 2023 Graduate program and promptly got an invite to their Online Assessment on Hackerrank. I've always sucked at Leetcode , so I studied for it for nights.
If you don't finish the coding challenge on HackerRank, is it pretty much guaranteed you won't get the job? I've done 2 coding challenges on HackerRank so far as part of interview processes and both times, I was unable to complete the challenge.
Hackerrank has way better structures set up to teach you syntax, data structures, and common algorithms. Leetcode needs you to know your programming language of choice well and to understand the DSandA.
I am in the interview process for a Backend Engineer/Associate Integrations Engineer position and as part of that process I must do a 90-min HackerRank assessment with a follow up Interview to review my results. The assessment is 6 questions, 5 multiple choice and 1 Java coding question.
Some FYI about the HackerRank platform (I never used it at IBM, though): Basic IDE with some auto complete and errors, so hopefully syntax isn't an issue. I do worry you'll find the exercise exceptionally difficult if you need to look up basic syntax. the "report" for the grader, or whatever, does show everything you typed over time.
Coding Challenges: For technical roles, you may be asked to solve coding challenges with real-time feedback powered by HackerRank. Prepare for HackerRank challenges here. You might be asked to participate in a technical interview within an interactive environment, done by our hiring team.
I used to use HackerRank but then tried out codewars and I find it much more fun to use and for some reason when I used HackerRank I just found it overall more stressful.
