Process
Phone interview.
First, I was asked to introduce my working and project experience. I talked about my university majors, the projects I worked on, and the achievements during my work days.
Then, I had about 40 minutes to write code to solve a problem. The question was as follows:
Return the coin combination with the minimum number of coins.
Time complexity: O(MN), where M is the target value and N is the number of distinct coins. Space complexity: O(M).
