Process

The process started with a pre-interview call. During this call, a friendly recruiter explained the interview process and later recommended some material to help study for interviews.

A week or so later, I had a phone interview that began with a very easy question. I think it was meant to weed out people who haven't coded before, but I'm not sure.

Questions

Given a list of integers, find the longest sequence of consecutive ascending numbers. Just printing out the length of the sequence is sufficient.
