When you code during an interview using a coding platform like HackerRank out even on a whiteboard, do you spend time memorizing the actual the import statements?

When I usually code, and I need to use like a Queue, when the IDE asks which to import, all I do is look for java.* rather than an external lib. Or for Date, util.* Not sql.*

After you expected to know the full paths?

    Interviews should focus on problem solving, not on stuff that everyone could find so easy that it's not worth remembering.

    An interview can't cover all challenges that the job will present so if the interview only focuses on specific problems without focusing on the problem solving part, then the interview is worthless
