Process
I applied online.
Smooth. A LC medium-level coding question, with some follow-ups about memory management and optimization. Also a dive into my resume. Received the email of entering the next round within a day.
Questions
If I change the constraints of this problem, how will time complexity and space complexity change, and how will you change your algorithm?
