Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took three weeks.
The interview was about two LeetCode medium questions, but the interviewer looked quite tired and didn't provide hints when I was stuck. Overall, the experience wasn't quite smooth.
Questions
A permutation perm of $n$ integers of all the integers in the range [1, $n$] can be represented as a string $s$ of length $n - 1$ where: $s[i]$ == 'I' if $perm[i] < perm[i + 1]$, and $s[i]$ == 'D' if $perm[i] > perm[i + 1]$. Given a string $s$, reconstruct the lexicographically smallest permutation perm and return it.
