Process
HR contacted me to set up the technical phone interview, which included a screen share.
I was provided with a HackerRank link. However, it wasn't a HackerRank question but rather a text editor to be used during the phone interview.
I was asked questions about hash tables and their complexity.
Questions
You have a matrix of size n x n. You have to print the diagonal elements of the matrix starting from the corner [n,n], then [n,n-1], [n-1,n], then [n,n-2], [n-1,n-1], [n-1,n]... up to [0,0].
I was also asked a question on strings (I don't remember it).
Was this helpful?
