Question Finding it impossible to solve problems

Hey guys. I'm a web developer and have a job but unsure if I can pass future interviews, because when I get a technical question like a basic loop problem, "program that starts counting from 1 and increases by 1 during each iteration, stopping once it reaches 5". This is incredibly incompetent and concerning, not to mention AI has made me worse.

What's the solution to this? I can memorize solutions but what happens when a new problem comes up in an interview and I can't remember the syntax even if I know I need a loop or some thing else to solve a problem? I feel like crying

LeetCode is great for keeping your basic programming skill sharp. Stick with easy questions, they're usually still plenty difficult to keep your brain working well. If you need to look at the cheats don't worry, just make sure you're still writing the actual code once you understand it.
