Process

I was contacted by a university recruiter via email. She asked some information and arranged a phone screen for me. Phone screen was easy, DFS and BFS questions. After that, it's on-site interview, which covered 4 45-minute 1-to-1 interviews. Questions mainly covered data structure, algorithm, and OOP design.

Questions

How to maintain a fixed-size heap for stream data.
