Process

I had a first interview over the phone, focusing on simple Java questions. After that, I was invited for an in-house interview.

During the in-house interview, they showed me some C code to assess my understanding of it. They asked me about pointer types and if I could identify them, as well as string manipulation. They also asked some more algorithmic questions.

Questions

A rabbit wants to climb some stairs. It can take steps of 1 or 2. How many possible paths are there to follow (e.g., 1-1-1... or 2-2-2... or 2-1-2-1... etc.)?

You have a buffer with integers, the size of a byte. How can you find the first non-repeating number?
