Process

Initial phone screen. They asked questions on how to handle a situation where an important client was asking for confidential information. They also asked how I would handle a situation where a coworker was taking credit for work they did not do.

Questions

boolean isPowerOfTen(int x) // Need to handle cases where x > Integer.MAX_VALUE or x < Integer.MIN_VALUE

int findMin(int a[]) // The array is sorted in increasing order, but is rotated some spaces, i.e., {6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} or {4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3} // This must be completed in O(log n) time.
