Reddit Software Engineer Interview Experience — Tennis Scoring Question, Ran Out of Time on Part 3

Reddit·Software Engineer·Oct 2026

The tennis question.

Part 1: write Game. I think you should also talk through the input / output format with the interviewer, because none was given. Functions like get score, record score, and get winner, plus error case handling.

Part 2: write Set, with pretty much the same functions.

Part 3: the interviewer said Game's get score function should pretty print, something like 0 / 15 / 30 / 40 / deuce / adv-A / adv-B.

I ran out of time on this part and didn't finish it.
