Applied through LinkedIn. I received a call from a recruiter shortly after. The first round of interviews was then scheduled. During this round, I was asked a few basic questions:
- What is Virtual Memory?
- What is a Page in an OS?
- What is the difference between concurrency and parallelism?
- What is the difference between TCP and UDP?

Following these questions, I was asked to implement a coding solution for the following problem:
Find the minimum distance between two given words within a given list of words. Implement the full code.
