More FAQs in React Coding Round Questions and How to Approach Them
Understand the question and ask clarifying questions, plan before coding, get a working skeleton fast, build must-haves first end to end, handle loading and error states, test the full flow, and be ready to discuss choices.
Because 5 to 10 minutes of quiet planning on component structure, state, and flows saves far more time than it costs. Planning prevents building the wrong thing and avoids rework, which is the biggest time-waster in a timed round.
Because they are part of the feature, and a feature that only handles success is incomplete. Adding them as you go means your feature is production-ready throughout, instead of bolting them on at the end and possibly running out of time.
