Process

I had a coding challenge, followed by a phone screen.

They then brought me on-site for a full day of interviews.

This consisted of five interviews, including a lunch interview (though I believe the lunch was not officially part of the interview process).

Questions

Given a grid of 0s and 1s, where 1 indicates land, determine the number of islands in the grid.
