Process

I had a telephonic round scheduled. The interviewer asked one problem and one puzzle.

The problem given was that I have an unsorted array. I need to write a simple function which returns the index of the first and second minimum element in the array.

The puzzle given was that if I paint a 101010 cube from all sides, how many smaller cubes would remain white (unpainted).

The interviewer was very friendly and guided me well throughout. I was very nervous during the interview and did not answer confidently, thus losing my chance.

Questions

Overall, it was not a difficult interview. I could have done much better, only if I had not gotten nervous.
