Process

Applied online and was notified two days later that in the coming weeks I will have an in-person interview while Google will be on my university campus.

There will be two separate 50-minute interviews with two different engineers. The questions asked were typical interview questions, though one caught me off guard.

Questions

Write a function to add a set {x, y} to a set of disjoint sets in a certain pattern.
