Process
Back-to-back, two rounds of one-hour interviews with a ten-minute break between them, featuring different interviewers. The problems are modified from LeetCode, both being medium-level. You should describe your solution first, then write the code, perform a dry run, and finally analyze complexity. An optimized solution should be provided after being hinted at by the interviewer.
