Process

The interviewer was a very friendly person. He began by asking me about the projects that I had done in undergraduate school.

Then he shifted on to a couple of design questions related to the client-server model and networking protocols. These were just basic questions and did not require in-depth knowledge of networks.

Then he asked one programming question. He asked me to suggest approaches to solving it and later on, implement one of the approaches on a whiteboard.

Finally, he asked me if I had any questions for him. I asked a couple of questions, and then it was done.

Questions

Implement an algorithm to shuffle songs in a playlist.
