More FAQs in Machine Coding Round: Evaluation Criteria
Functionality (40%, does it work?), code quality (25%, clean and modular?), edge cases (15%, did you handle them?), UI/UX (10%, looks good?), and approach (10%, how did you structure and communicate?).
Functionality. A non-working solution scores low regardless of code quality. Get the core working first, then improve code quality, add edge case handling, and polish the UI.
Build all required features (functionality), use small functions and clear names (code quality), handle edge cases, add basic CSS (UI/UX), and plan and communicate your approach. A working, clean solution with edge cases and basic CSS scores high.
