  • Make sure you choose the programming language in which you are most comfortable. My personal opinion is that don’t choose C/C++ or JAVA. You can go with NodeJS and Python which are easy to handle with inbuilt functionality. Make sure you read the problem properly and only then try to solve. OOPS concepts are important too. Be comfortable with Design Principles or Writing clean code. [...] Follow SOLID principles while coding. Don’t over complicate things and follow the clean coding principles as much as you can.
