coding challenge

Algorithmic problem-solving test

A coding challenge is a programming problem designed to test technical skills, typically under time constraints.

Companies use coding challenges to screen job candidates: I have to complete a coding challenge before my interview.

They also exist as competitive exercises on platforms where programmers practice and compare solutions.

The problems range from simple algorithms to complex system design tasks.
