Coding Interview Foundations in Java

Apply a repeatable clarify–model–solve–test workflow to a coding interview problem.

Derive the time and space complexity of Java code containing sequential and nested loops.

Compare alternative solutions using asymptotic complexity and practical implementation trade-offs.

Select appropriate Java collection types for an interview problem based on their operation costs.

Write a correct Java solution from pseudocode without relying on an IDE or autocomplete.

Construct boundary, invalid, and adversarial test cases for a proposed algorithm.

Trace a Java algorithm manually to identify invariant violations and off-by-one errors.

Explain a completed coding solution clearly while responding to interviewer prompts.
