Answer
It helps establish a baseline solution. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Starting with a brute force solution ensures you have a working version of the problem, which you can then iterate and optimize. For example, in a problem requiring the identification of duplicate elements in an array, first implementing a simple nested loop solution helps ground your approach before considering more efficient solutions like using a HashSet.
