How do I build a progress bar in a machine coding interview?
Create a container div with an inner fill div. Set the fill's width based on a percentage. Use CSS transition for smooth animation. Add buttons to change the progress. Clamp the value to 0-100. Display the percentage.

Use CSS transition on the width property: transition: width 0.3s ease. When you change the width via JavaScript (bar.style.width = progress + '%'), the CSS transition animates the change smoothly.
Clamp the value to 0-100 (no negative or over 100), smooth animation with CSS transition, auto-increment mode (setInterval), and different colors for different ranges (red for low, green for high).
Use setInterval: const interval = setInterval(() => { progress += 1; updateProgress(); if (progress >= 100) clearInterval(interval); }, 100). This increments the progress by 1 every 100ms until it reaches 100.
