Process

It was exactly what you would expect from a Google interview. It started out with a phone interview with one of their engineers.

The interviewer asked me to code an algorithm that was fairly straightforward but had some aspects to it that could be easily missed.

Overall, it was a good interview, and I would recommend people to try it.

Questions

Write a function that takes in two arrays of integers, which represent the digits of two numbers, and returns an array of digits that represents their sum.
