Process
Coding question.
Did not proceed to next rounds even after completing the question.
Interviewer asked why I coded in Python instead of C++, I assume they wanted C++.
Also nitpicked on edge cases, which is fair, but I rarely see candidates failing only for minor changes to code.
Questions
Leetcode: Alien Dictionary variation.
Run test cases.
