We briefly discussed my background and experience before moving directly to technical questions.

I was required to SSH into Arista's servers and code using a terminal text editor like Vim.

I was given a preliminary exercise as a warm-up. This involved reading some code and determining its output.

I was offered a few topics to choose from, and I selected BST and palindromes. All questions were presented in C.

The interviewer was very friendly and provided hints whenever I encountered difficulties.

The entire interview lasted over an hour.

Ultimately, I was informed that I performed well, but not sufficiently to advance to the next round.

Given a bunch of printf statements and a char *, figure out what would be printed.

Print the BST in ascending element order. (HINT: know more than just recursive inorder traversal).

Find out if a given string is a palindrome (could contain more than just alphanumerics).
