Process
It was pretty good. The interview included a DFS question, followed by a recursion question about binary trees.
Nothing seemed too difficult, and the interviewer was nice. He offered encouragement when I got stuck on a few library issues, but I battled right through them.
Questions
How do you flip a binary tree?
