Process
A very simple string of 4 LeetCode Easy level questions, hosted on HackerRank.
Most were about string parsing and didn't touch much on algorithm knowledge, but be careful with your time. Test cases were provided.
Questions
One of the questions they asked me was a SQL database question. I needed to create tables based on the email and timestamp of emails sent.
