Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interviewer showed me a pattern of alphanumeric digits. He had trouble verifying my observations, so we wasted a lot of time trying to get to the actual pattern. After we agreed on the pattern, I had to write an algorithm to code numbers in this pattern.

Questions

Was asked a Huffman coding type problem. Had to first find a pattern in digits and represent them using an algorithm.
