Process
Had two on-campus interviews and one follow-up phone interview used as "another data point."
On-campus interviews went okay. I was able to do the problems, but it took me a little longer than I should have needed.
The follow-up interview went well in my opinion, but probably not well enough to compensate for my mediocre performance on the on-campus ones.
Questions
Given two lists, A and B, containing sorted, non-unique integers, return the elements in A but not B, and the elements in B but not A.
Make a data structure for adding numbers, removing numbers, and returning the median. Give the O(n) time complexity of each operation.
