Process
A recruiter found me and proposed that I apply for an SWE position in Zurich or Warsaw.
This was the first phone interview. The interviewer asked me the main question (below).
Afterwards, he asked me another question: Given a text, how would I find the most common letter?
What if the text is ASCII/Unicode? What if the text was only 8 characters long?
Following this interview, they decided to schedule another phone screen with me.
Questions
Given a square matrix, for example:
1 3 6 10 2 5 9 13 4 8 12 15 7 11 14 16
Serialize it so that you get the elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 15, 16 at the output.
