hi all. I'm doing a daily coding problem and this challenge is "Given a list of integers, write a function that returns the largest sum of non-adjacent numbers. Numbers can be 0 or negative. For example, [2, 4, 6, 8] should return 12, since we pick 4 and 8. [5, 1, 1, 5] should return 10, since we pick 5 and 5."

right. If someone was interviewing to join my team and they went to great lengths to implement their own version of a stdlib function, I’d assume they 1. Didn’t know that function was in the stdlib, or 2. Were an extreme “cowboy coder” <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_coding>

it’s a worthy exercise to try implementing it yourself, and ponder why the accepted implementation differs, but… definitely not in an interview.

Just to throw in my 2 cents, I have found it helpful to treat it more of a conversation than an interview. Don't be afraid to push back/ask questions about the question the interviewer gave you and say something to the effect of "I know I can use such and such function so would you like to see an implementation with t...

For whatever it’s worth, my two biggest interview tips have nothing to do with coding: if you sincerely feel enthusiasm about the role, try your hardest to let that shine through, and saying “I haven’t learned that yet, but I’d love to work somewhere that I will get the chance to build that skill” is a perfectly accept...
