I was contacted by the recruiter and we scheduled the phone interview.

The phone interview was positive, and the onsite interview is due in a few days.

You are given an function which converts a string like "I work at Google" to "Google at work I". Write all the test cases you can think of for testing such a function.

You are given a random binary tree 5 /
