Java: The STAR Framework
Answer
Begin with brute force to clarify problem requirements.
Starting with a brute force solution in live coding helps establish a baseline understanding of the problem. It allows you to solve the problem in a straightforward way before optimizing. For instance, in a problem requiring pair sums in an array, first check all pairs, then refine for efficiency.
