## 💡 Interview Tips

**Key Principles to Remember:**
1. **Understand the "why"**: Don't just memorize—understand the reasoning
2. **Practice explaining**: Can you explain it to someone else?
3. **Code without IDE**: Practice writing code by hand or in simple editors
4. **Think about trade-offs**: Every design decision has pros and cons
5. **Real-world context**: Connect concepts to actual software problems

**During Interviews:**
- Clarify requirements before coding
- Think out loud—show your thought process
- Start with a simple solution, then optimize
- Discuss edge cases and error handling
- Know the time/space complexity
