I Took the IBM Coding Test – Here’s What Happened (HackerRank, Java)
Hi everyone 👋
Recently, I attended the #ibm IBM Coding Assessment Round on #hackerRank, and in this video, I shared my real experience, the coding questions I got, and the approach I followed to solve them.
TimeStamp:
00:10 – Overview of the IBM assessment (60 minutes, HackerRank platform, 2 coding questions).
00:29 – Question 1: Frequency logic. Discussion on finding the second highest frequency and handling edge cases.
01:03 – Common edge case failures for Question 1 (e.g., numbers with the same frequency).
01:44 – Importance of reading the question properly (spending at least 5 minutes).
02:10 – Question 2: Instance Scaling. Break down of utilization conditions (less than 25% to reduce, greater than 60% to double).
02:42 – Detailed edge cases for Question 2 (instance limits and specific scaling rules).
03:34 – Researching the platform (HackerRank) and final tips for success.
The assessment duration was 60 minutes, and I received 2 coding questions, mainly focused on:
#arrays
#hashmap
#frequency problems
#edge cases
*#hidden test cases
Logical implementation
In this video I also explained:
✔ How hidden test cases fail
✔ Important edge conditions
✔ Instance scaling logic problem
✔ Frequency-based array question
✔ How I approached the problems calmly
If you are preparing for:
IBM
HackerRank
Placement coding rounds
Java coding interviews
then this video may help you understand the pattern of questions generally asked.
The exact questions may change, but the logic patterns are usually similar.
Happy Coding 🚀
