Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months.
Brief introduction from the interviewer. Give me a Leetcode medium question to solve. Describe my thought and then do implementation. Dry run to prove that my implementation works on edge cases. Ask some questions about the company or the position.
Questions
A common LeetCode medium question that is really easy for an undergraduate student majoring in CS. You just need to be very careful of edge cases.
