Process
I applied online and then received an email to arrange a first-round phone interview. The engineer was nice, and the questions were easy, but it was my first interview, so I was a little nervous. We covered two questions in 45 minutes:
- Find the intersection of two sorted arrays.
- Move all non-zero elements to the front of an array.
Questions
I tried to improve the intersection question using binary search, but I did not finish coding it.
