Process
I had a phone interview with Facebook. The engineer asked a couple of engineering questions.
One was how to create a class instance dynamically in C++, simulating the runtime of Java. The other was an algorithm problem that could be solved using dynamic programming.
Then the interviewer asked about the time complexity of my solution. Using the master theorem, it could be solved simply.
