Write out the pseudo code first if that makes you feel comfortable. Write it out using comments. If this is a live coding interview and they are putting you on a strict time limit then in my opinion that is a huge red flag.

In live coding interviews take your time. Don’t feel like they are rushing you. Write out the pseudo code and show how you would solve it then start writing out the code. Also talk everything out outloud with them. As someone who is an interviewer for interns and junior developers, I love it when the person I’m interviewing talk out what they are currently doing out loud with me.
