Process
Interviewee was rude and aggressive and didn't want to hear what I had to say. Very, very, very rude South Indian person.
Always saying my code was not optimized and asking why I was using BFS for binary level traversal. I did it in log n, though.
This is the first time in my life somebody asked me why I was using BFS for binary level order and why a queue. "Use DFS," they said. "This is WRONG. Nobody uses BFS."
Please don't take interviews if you are not interested in conducting them.
Questions
BFS level order traversal of a binary tree.
