Process
Phone interview with coding document.
The interviewer was friendly.
However, my biggest complaint is that he didn't tell me that Java's built-in iterator for lists wasn't allowed in my implementation until about 20 minutes into the interview. Had I had this extra time from the start, I believe I could have written my test cases, touched up my code, and implemented the optional part.
Questions
Design an iterator class to iterate over a list of lists.
