Process
I had a HackerRank challenge and then a phone interview.
The phone interview asked about code I wrote for the HackerRank challenge, but I had not seen the code for almost a month, so I felt unprepared.
The interviewer was hard to hear and spoke in broken English.
Questions
What is the time complexity of my code, and how can I improve it?
