Process
The interview was 45 minutes long.
It included two questions:
- The first question was about a distributed algorithm. The request was not very clear, which was confusing. I could not fully understand the question itself due to limited information.
- The second question was about an array, specifically to delete duplicates. This question was very easy to answer.
Questions
How to design an algorithm that could run in large computer systems?
