Process

I was asked to write down two algorithm programming tests on Google Docs. The interviewer asked me what I was thinking when I stopped to consider what to program next. After I finished my answer, they gave me some test cases to walk through my program and write down the output. They also asked me about the time complexity and space complexity of the answer.
