Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

There were two LeetCode easy-to-medium questions for the home test. The first one was about tokens and string solutions. The second one used a hash table, similar to the LeetCode 2-sum problem. Time wasn't a factor, as I got ninety minutes for two questions. Overall, it was a good experience.

Questions

You get a string containing c and t, and ".". Every token jumps 3 steps ahead. The function should return the maximum number of coins the token steps on.
