Here are a few questions/problems I was asked in from-end interviews a couple months ago: Write a function that accepts an array of ints and a target number. If two of the numbers in the array can add up to the target, return their indices. (aka Two Sum) Write a function that accepts an int x and prints a spiral of "#"s so that the number of "arms" in the spiral equals x. Write a function that accepts a month and a year, and draws a calendar view of that month. Given a non-negative int x, repeatedly add all its digits until the result has only one digit. I think I was also asked something that involved a tree structure, but I can't remember the specific problem. I thought all of those questions were fucking stupid. The good interviewers, IMO, gave me a "take-home" problem of building some mini front-end app that hit an API, and the really

fun one involved reverse engineering an unpublished API - that's how I got my current job. I spent a lot of time studying the h5bp Front End Interview Questions[1], and the only front-end specific question I was asked was, "What is an SVG sprite?" during an initial phone chat with a CEO. 1. https://github.com/h5bp/Front-end-Developer-Interview-Questi...
In Ask HN: How to prepare for a Front-end Developer interview?
Wow! As a person that interviewed other people for front-end developers, here in Berlin, I would say that I will probably offend half of the candidates if I ask them to code on a whiteboard. Not to mention that I would feel offended if I'm asked by a hiring team to solve complex logic task while visiting an office for a first time. Usually what I do as an interviewer is to select a bunch of questions out of [1] github frontend developer interview questions and make a productive conversation, by asking for opinion on different ways of writing front-end code. 1 : https://github.com/h5bp/Front-end-Developer-Interview-Questi...
