More accuriately resembles real-world.\n* Code that checks this repository for licensing information.\n\n\n# Frequently asked questions\n\nFeel free to ask questions or edit answers to the following.\n\n## Why use take-home code problems?\n\nTake-home problems are a low-pressure way to see if a candidate can actually write code. It's amazing how many interview candidates aren't capable of writing code. It's also amazing how many companies expect candidates to solve complex problems on a whiteboard without access to a search engine, documentation, and other common software resources.\n\nWhile these problems are typically limited in scope, they not only show if a candidate can write code but also if they solve a complete problem. In other words, they are more than simply a cute or abstract 10-lines-of-code size of problem, without getting into the complexity of a full system. Most candidates on modern agile/lean engineering teams are expected to own a problem's domain from initial understanding through automated acceptance testing.\n\n## When are whiteboard problems effective?\n\nFace-to-face (\"whiteboard\") style problemsolving is effective to ensure a candidate can identify and pseudocode an algorithm in a reasonable length of time.\n\n## Why share our code problems?\n\n(insert text about sharing here)\n\n# Sources used\n* [Streamtech problem set](http://web.archive.org/web/20130502164931/http://www.streamtech.nl/site/problem+set) - this is a great list of problems that can be used. Some of the problems here are based on the Streamtech list.\n\n# Other sources and sites\n* [Geekinterview.com Interview Questions](http://www.geekinterview.com/Interview-Questions) (over 25k questions with answers!)\n* [github: donnemartin: interactive coding challenges](https://github.com/donnemartin/interactive-coding-challenges)\n\n# License\nAll content and code included in this repository is licensed under [CC-BY 3.0](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) (content) and the [MIT license](http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php) (code) found in the root of this repository in [LICENSE.txt](license.txt).\n\nCC-BY 3.0 for content requires **attribution**.
