Process

I met the company's representative on campus and applied through their website. I received an email soon after asking me to select my preferences for the on-campus interview.

The interview was tough, but if someone is thorough with the topics and has practiced quite a few problems, then it should be manageable.

Questions

Given a new dictionary of words in English alphabets, but the ordering of the alphabets is not necessarily the same as in English. For example, 'c' might come before 'a' in the new alphabet series. Consequently, the dictionary would also contain words ordered differently than in a usual dictionary. If you are given enough words in this new dictionary to establish sufficient relationships between the new series, find that new series.
