You can view the code quality submitted by a candidate. This helps you make better hiring decisions that go beyond the accuracy of the candidate's code. The major issues with the code are highlighted. A tag is displayed on the right side with the name of the issue. The description of the issue in the code is displayed corresponding to each tag.
Examples of descriptions of issues in code:
-

-
Reduce the total number of breaks and continue the statement in this loop to use at most one.
Note: Currently, we do not provide any rating or score to the candidate's code. Only issues with the code are highlighted and described.
