Process

This was a normal phone interview. I received the call on time. The interviewer introduced himself briefly and then began to describe the problems I had to solve.

I did not even have to introduce myself; I just started working on the problems. After the process, I asked two questions to the interviewer, and the interview ended.

Questions

Compare two different strings which only differ in one bit and analyze the time and space complexity of your algorithms.

Follow-up: Two strings are very long, so we do not have enough space for a hash map.
