About the Coding: Data Structures - Arrays test

For businesses seeking proficient coders, a solid grasp of arrays data structures is fundamental. Arrays are vital in diverse coding scenarios, from storing lists of items like user information to implementing algorithms for searching and sorting. For instance, arrays might be used in a web development project to store user preferences, streamlining personalization features. In an algorithmic context, arrays are pivotal for tasks like sorting and searching data.

This intermediate-level, language-agnostic coding challenge focuses on array manipulation, enabling candidates to choose their preferred coding language. Employers can configure supported languages as needed.

This test evaluates candidates' ability to manipulate arrays, a skill crucial for optimizing code efficiency. Candidates showcase their skills by solving moderately complex problems, creating flexibility in language selection. By evaluating against set cases, this challenge encourages candidates to create additional test cases, offering a comprehensive assessment of their intermediate programming abilities.

This screening test will help you identify candidates poised for professional growth in coding. Successful candidates navigate array manipulation challenges and exhibit the versatility to contribute meaningfully to your coding projects. This language-agnostic coding test ensures candidates can effectively apply array data structures, demonstrating adaptability across programming languages.

Gain insights into candidates’ problem-solving capabilities, and identify individuals with strong intermediate coding skills. This screening test is a valuable asset in building a proficient coding team tailored to your organizational needs and objectives.

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.

FAQs

An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.

A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now."

Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
