A manager saw my resume at a virtual job fair and recommended me for the position.

A week or so later, I had a one-hour video call interview with one interviewer. She asked me simple questions about threading and operating systems. She also gave me a coding question, a simple one involving something to do with linked lists. I forgot the specifics, but it was simple.

Then I was called for a second interview. It was a three-hour video call, consisting of:

• One hour of technical questions with two interviewers.
• One hour of technical questions with two interviewers.
• Approximately one hour with the manager, who was one interviewer.

1. Write a program to print an NxN dimensional array in spiral order, starting from indices (0,0) and ending at (N/2, N/2).

3. Write a program to insert an element into a sorted linked list.

4. Write a program to delete an element from a linked list.
