Process

Phone interview after a pre-screening coding challenge.

The interviewer seemed pretty condescending, and I felt he may have prejudged me based on my background.

I think I would have succeeded a lot more if he had discussed the problem with me more and perhaps given me a hint or two on how to optimize my approach.

Questions

Take in an input stream of numbers, and find the mean, discounting the first and last k numbers where k is given to you.
