Well done! Note that most tech / code challenges are designed to understand your:

  1. Thought process
  2. Analytical thinking
  3. Tackling the problem and arriving at the solution

What they admire, is mostly in your 'Long story short' summary, which made you stand out more than what their team was lacking - taking time for code comments about how your code works, and excellent documentation (this means you care about team collaboration, where others need to familiarise with your work).

Congratulations, and happy coding!

Yes, the hard part specially when a junior is to remember that...that we are not expected to be perfect but to try and to have the will to keep learning and growing.

100% agreed, that's well said right there - you've accepted the challenge, attempted and learn from it with the outcome. I'm glad authors like yourself are writing articles like these, they provide positive guidance to many :)
