Iterative Problem Solving and Feedback Questions

Evaluates how a candidate breaks larger algorithmic or implementation tasks into small, testable steps and incorporates feedback while coding. Candidates should describe an incremental implementation strategy, running tests or examples after each logical section, validating intermediate outputs, and progressively improving or refactoring code when new requirements or feedback arrive. Interviewers look for evidence of test driven thinking, modularization, risk aware trade offs between quick iteration and correctness, clear communication of intermediate assumptions, and a collaborative attitude toward feedback.
