Using "Google Guava" in coding interviews
- by kbgn27
I attended a in-person interview recently and performed well. But surprisingly I got rejected. When I asked the HR for reason, he contacted the technical interviewer and told me that I was syntactically wrong while coding.
I used Google Guava for coding. So my code looked like this:
List<String> items = Lists.newArrayList()
instead of
List<String> items =new ArrayList<String>();
I know that the code will compile and work as expected.Is it ok to use third party libraries like Google Guava in interviews?
