Process

I received an email from a recruiter stating that I had to take a coding test. I solved both questions, but my time complexity was likely O(n^2), which may have been the reason for rejection.

Questions

Both questions were from LeetCode. Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s. You may assume that the maximum length of s is 1000.
