Process

The interview process included a phone screen, a technical screen, and then an on-site interview. The on-site interview consisted of a series of 4-5 one-hour sessions with a lunch break in between. The interview was conducted remotely.

Questions covered algorithms, system design, and specialization-specific topics (firmware-related for me).

Questions

Write a program that will determine all the different permutations at which you could travel from point A to point B, X spaces away, if you can only travel straight or diagonally. Each step must progress towards B.
