Process
My friend referred me to the intern position. It took about three weeks to hear from a recruiter. The process was pretty easy. After only one phone interview, I was invited to go onsite. The phone interview took 45 minutes. First, we talked about one of my previous projects, then two technical problems.
Questions
The first problem is: given a tree where each node contains a digit, calculate the sum of all numbers formed by paths from root to leaf.
The second problem is: given a string, remove all 'b's and duplicate all 'a's.
