Software Engineering Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Two 45-minute phone interviews, one after the other, with two different interviewers.
Neither felt particularly standardized, but one of them did seem to draw some questions from my resume.
The biggest challenge that came up was understanding one of the interviewers, who had a fairly strong accent that came out badly through my phone speakers. This was mostly resolved with lots of clarifying questions.
Questions
Can you implement a class that returns the "next" permutation (in no particular order) of representatives chosen from a list of lists? Also, implement a method that determines whether there are any new permutations to return.
For example, when given [[1, 2], ['b'], [3, 4]], the permutations are:
[1, 'b', 3][1, 'b', 4][2, 'b', 3][2, 'b', 4]
