Me (experienced java dev) in an interview..

C: „what’s the difference between equals and equals equals and equals equals equals in js?“
Me: i explained it perfectly
C: „what’s the difference in Java between equals and equals equals and dot equals?“?
Me: „sorry, I don’t know. I’ve never ever seen .=„..

About 15 min after the interview, I was like: „holy moly fucking shit, please shoot me.. he meant .equals.. not .=....

For the devs: I‘M FUCKING STUPID!!!!

For the beginners: THATS the importance of „context“!

Sounds more like an imbecile of an interviewer who was intentionally trying to trip you up with misleading context conditioning. Probably has a background in used car sales and thinks they are soooo clever for incorporating this into their interviewing technique.
