When a technical question has been rolled out to you, chances are that you need to think and come up with a proper approach in order to solve it. If you are unable to solve it, and that’s the first thing that you speak, you would probably leave a bad impression!

Taking the correct approach is always more important than blatantly solving problems.
If you are asked to write a program, let the interviewers know how you plan to go about doing it. Try and explain your steps and why you are taking those!

Although, you may be tempted to exaggerate your contributions, it’s generally advisable to stick to the reality.

Similarly, if you have seen a problem before, it’s recommended that you let the interviewer know.
