Process
I took a HackerRank assessment for data structures and algorithms, which included a problem on finding all substrings. I solved it using Python 3. The assessment had 2 coding questions and took 45 minutes. I think they should have provided more time, as the questions were of average difficulty.
Questions
Data structures and algorithms, like all substrings.
