Process
I applied online and received a response within a week.
The first interview involved finding the smallest node in a BST that falls within a given range.
I coded an O(N) solution, but was later advised to optimize it to O(logN).
The next round asked me to find common elements in two arrays. Nothing too difficult.
Questions
Find the smallest node in a BST that falls into a given range.
Find intersections of two arrays.
