Ben: can you flatten this simple object? Clément: sure here is a recursive linear time complexity algorithm to flatten every possible object in the world
me: I know React, Vue, Svelte and SEO best practices. my interviewer: good. please solve riemann hypothesis with the least space & time complexity. I will give you 10 minutes to solve. good luck.

I completed a full stack boot camp with js/react/node. It began 9/19, but ended 3/20 right as pandemic started. Knew I wasn’t going to find a job right away so went right into a data science boot camp that promised a job as long as you finish. Got a job as an analyst and hardly even doing any programming now, just a little Python on the side. Originally got into it because I loved learning to code and now getting back into the dev side. I personally love JS and React so much more than Python. I have used a little Flask, but React just seems more enjoyable to me. These videos are helpful to get me ready to search for a role that allows me to use both skill sets. Thx
Yeah that got overcomplicated by simultaneously introducing dynamically generating the keys / table headers, which is kind of unrelated other than it becoming more complex in a context of flattening. It is a requirement by itself with pros and cons, the latter being that your table will look different depending on your input (first input in this case). There was no requirement for this at all as I understood the assignment.
All this dynamic flattening might be neat in other use cases, but since this is TS, and a presumably well-defined API response that doesn't have too many fields, creating an interface and working with defined object keys would be so much easier IMO. Specifying an interface (or multiple) for the API response would have been my first step actually.

U could store 1 or -1 as sorting direction and multiply them with -1 to get the appropriate return values sortingDirection = 1 if a < b, return sortingDirection * -1 if a > b, return sortingDirection if a = b, return 0
What a trip down memory lane! I had just started learning React when I saw the previous interview. I'm still learning, but ik all the things done in this video
Most of the people won’t be able to do this much given the same amount of time, so definitely impressive there. One thing I think would be helpful for the viewers is to explain different ways to structure the code so that the code is more maintainable and performant :)
I am grateful that I got Clement's video recommended, these kind of videos does it job when you are not too deep in some stuff. Like in this scenario, frameworks. I've understood a lot about React with these two videos (and also the long video that wrapped all React hooks tutorials)
Yea I remember reading about this recently. It worsens performance because it messes with React’s reconciliation process. When you have indices for a key and you move elements around, React loses track of what was updated/added/removed due to the same key switching nodes. I think this is how it happened at least
I recently had to implement this kind of table where the table had bunch of row & colum level actions and a annoying nested object to deal with and I can feel Clement here! And to increase the complexity the table was live that is it was continuously getting updates from a live feed and to implement sort, filter to that etc. Was another ball game.
Just came from the beginner React coding interview with Clement. Again, this was super informative and helpful. A bit let down you didn't make Clement add authentication like you said you would in the previous video but its all good haha. Awesome vid!
I'm only 8 minutes in, but I have to say this is a really wonderful video, and helpful for those getting in to the industry. In addition I also appreciate the high resolution video, that just makes it that little more enjoyable and easier to follow.
ok so, i just wanna share my react interview experience for a job i did not get. i've been working with react on and off in the past 3 years. i watched these two videos to see if i'm ok or not and both of these videos were too easy for me. i also passed the first assigned coding challenge the company gave me, it was nothing but fetching, rendering and filtering data based on an input field and writing some tests for it. but the reason i failed the interview and did not get the job was the following questions that i couldn't answer properly : 1- what is virtual dom and what are the benefits of it? 2- how to test an endpoint on the front end ? 3- we know we should update the state in an immutable way, but why? what happens if we don't ? 4- what is the event loop? 5- what are pure functions? ---- there were other questions that i answered like about closures or higher order components. but the 5 above took me down. honestly i'm a little mad about the 1st and 4th question, because i don't really understand how knowing the answer to them makes me a better dev. but anyways... make sure you know the answer to these. happy coding!
I totally respect that this is all on-the-spot (which makes it great to watch but not suitable for educating beginners), so it's a bit unfair to judge you from the armchair, but some remarks anyway. The flattening vs dynamic has been mentioned, but the sorting function sorting on what the sort order will (presumably) become later on, is unnecessary coupling (just reorder the lines so that newSortingDirections is determined before sortData) . Reversing the sort could also be done by switching a and b at the start, or multiplying the result by -1 for reverse. I 'feel' there's a bit much intermediate variable creation to my taste, but Code Complete would probably approve :)
I was just building a little react app which has a couple table-based displays, was thinking of adding column based sorting and a search function so this is great. Now I just need to get Clem to do a mock interview with me
I always tend to store the transformed data for display in component state, since that state is tied to the UI. This gives you a single source of truth, easier to maintain, and makes debugging much easier, since the state reflects exactly what will be displayed. And as you may have noticed in the video, you can avoid having to change any UI output in some cases-like adding a sorting functionality. If I use global state management, I tend to also store the transformed data there, except if a component does something special with the data that is not compatible with other components that share that same state.
Haha watching this fresh off of the intermediate Algo Interview on Clement's channel. Tons of fun and I hope you guys can take a shot on a 'Hard' mode sometime!
this has to be a good example of over-engineering failing you an interview. not only was it severely over-engineered, it also wasn't really a good solution. why would you ever want to get data from an API and dynamically display everything it returns? you have no control over what you display. either way, cool vid ;>
that's what I thought too, its so simple to just create an array which maps all the values and sorts it, I don't know why he created all those functions, and random state stuff...he used Object.keys so many times, when he could have just used Object.entries and gotten it all at the same time ....
damn that curly brace smash of JSON.stringify was cold. Thanks to both for the video, it kinda went off track (to me) in the first part with the overengineering but can't complain!
I forgot that you can have helper functions *outside* of your React.FC... I've always had them on the inside of the React.FC, but that's inefficient because every instance of the component has to create that callback function upon every render (maybe helped with useCallback), but storing the callbacks outside of the component won't require any duplication. (Like how pre-ES6 classes, we were supposed to add functions to a "class"'s prototype instead of storing the function directly in the class, to reduce duplication)
Interviews are fun. I’m eighteen and will soon will be questioned. Watching you guys helps me to cool down a bit, but I still fear to get negative experience from one. Thank you.
One should never use personIdx as a key. If the length of data changes, react would re-render the existing entries as well. A separate property like id should be used which is unique and consistent.
In fairness, I don't think it should count AGAINST someone for using something like Lodash to do things like flatten data PROVIDED the exercise isn't to explicitly write the functionality of whatever is being imported (and evaluate the quality of that code). Several reasons: 1) in a real-world scenario, we do use things like Lodash; 2) likewise, in a real-world scenario, do you really want utility functions with duplicative functionality peppered inconsistently throughout your codebase?; 3) a library is probably going to write the function better than you will, especially in an hour-long interview. If the functionality being imported is considered as criterion for the interview, the interviewer should state that as a parameter of the exercise. Alternatively, if the interviewer wants to examine thought process and see if the interviewee will opt to use a library or implement it his/herself, when/if the topic arises (and it usually does), they should be ready to clearly state their preference as to whether or not they use a library or manually implement the functionality. Better, they could ask the interviewee what they would decide and their rationale, which would give insight into the interviewee's body of knowledge.
This is great! But you should probably caveat (make it really obvious) that here you're not following best practices, and are just writing quick code to get something working - just in case newer devs think this is a great example to release to prod!
the point of an interview like this is not for you to do it as fast as possible, it's to show off the way you approach problems and the way you think. any beginner can do these tasks obviously
I'm 17 minutes in now and I'd say the following: The interviewee is focussing too much on the code, and perhaps missing subtle hints or expressions from Ben suggesting that the way he's going about it might not be the best way. My sense is that he's overcomplicating it, and he's probably doing that because he's not fully understanding what is being asked of him. Thirdly I think that he's rushing, trying to go too fast. He could probably be much more relaxed, and keep things simple. Lastly I think it's worth saying that it's one thing to do an interview, and another to do an interview that you know will be seen by many thousands of people, therefore I can understand the nervousness :)
i have just one question about the sorting part, if i set: let i=-1, and then everytime the column header is clicked we increment i and then check i%2 and then accordingly sort the column; is that a valid method? alternatively: to prevent memory issues we can flip i between 0 and 1 and then just use simple if statements like: if i=0 sort ascending, set i=1 and then next time when header is clicked, i=1, so we sort descending and then we set i=0 again and so on
