Process
I was contacted by the company a week after the career fair. The interview was broken down into two 30-minute sections.
The first consisted of behavioral questions, such as: Why choose Citadel? and Why choose your major?
The technical questions were pretty tough. Prepare well for them.
They asked me about:
- Reversing a string in place
- Looping through linked lists
- Writing sorting algorithms
- Trees
Questions
If a Binary Search Tree was written incorrectly, for instance, if a number to the left of a node isn't smaller as it should be, how would you catch this mistake?
What's the most efficient way to figure this out?
