Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Create a data structure like a file system, but no test cases and minimal starter code. No tests was weird, had to write them all myself. The interviewer was very kind and helpful, though.

Questions

Design a data structure that works like a file system and can hold files or other folders. You need to add, read, and delete optimally.
