Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

It was a back-to-back interview. The questions were easy and basic. One interviewer was from the Ads group, and the other was from the Map group. I didn't fully prepare, so the conversation was not ideal.

Questions

  1. Write a function to swap two data items of any type.

  2. Read and improve the provided code.

  3. Given a group of 2D points, write a function to find whether there is any vertical line that can separate the group of points into two symmetric groups.
