While answering/coding any question in the interview, be verbal as much as you can. Tell the interviewer what you are thinking, if you have any doubts and how are you reaching the solution. This will help the interviewer know your thought process and will be beneficial in case your answer in correct. Work on your body language and be confident while answering.
