Process
Applied online and was given three HackerRank questions to complete in 45 minutes.
Two of the problems were medium-level, concerning trees and arrays.
The third problem was ridiculously difficult, as it was an NP-hard Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP).
In my opinion, the allotted 45 minutes was definitely not enough time to finish all three problems.
