Process
The interview was pretty straightforward. I was a little nervous, and my explanations were pretty scattered. I think I solved the problem in about 40 minutes. I feel like I didn't do it by the book with all the examples and thinking the solution through. I could think in code, but otherwise, it is not natural for me.
