Process
There are two rounds. One is a coding round. Questions are of easy to medium level:
- Find LCA in a binary tree.
- Given an array of prime numbers and a positive integer k, consider an array of numbers whose prime factors consist only of primes given in the prime numbers list. Return the k-th (1-based indexing) smallest element of the array.
Questions
The second round was for testing software knowledge.
They asked me to design a minimal version of Twitter, including the schema and queries based on that schema.
