How interviewers test Solidity
Real questions from Skilture's interview banks, with what the interviewer is listening for.
Blockchain Developer · basic
Describe the purpose of the 'msg.sender' and 'msg.value' global variables in Solidity. When would you use each?
Listen for: A strong answer correctly identifies 'msg.sender' as the address of the caller and 'msg.value' as the amount of Ether sent with the call. The candidate should provide practical examples, such as restricting access or handling payments. Confusion between these or incorrect usage indicates a lack of fundamental understanding.
Blockchain Developer · intermediate
What is the significance of the 'payable' keyword in Solidity functions? Provide a scenario where it's essential.
Listen for: A strong answer explains that 'payable' allows a function to receive Ether. The candidate should provide a clear use case, such as a crowdfunding contract or a token sale. Forgetting to mention that it's required for a contract to receive Ether directly via a transaction is a red flag.
Blockchain Developer · advanced
How do you handle errors and exceptions in Solidity? Discuss 'require', 'revert', and 'assert'.
Listen for: The candidate should correctly differentiate 'require' (for validating inputs and conditions before execution), 'assert' (for checking invariants and internal errors), and 'revert' (for custom error messages). A strong answer will explain their gas cost implications and when to use each for optimal contract design. Misunderstanding their specific use cases is a red flag.
