Is coding or math classes more important for a quant internship?

I’m not great at math at all to be honest. I know I could put my head down and grind out the classes, but it’s not my specialty. Coding is much easier for me to follow along with. In general, do these banks and funds look for proficient coding knowledge over maths, or is it the other way around?
