Process

It was a 30-minute on-campus interview. First, the interviewer asked me to talk about myself and requested more details on my project. Then, they asked one string question: to reverse the words in a sentence without using any built-in methods. Following that, there was a question on calculating the recursion of characters in a string, which is also a typical string manipulation problem.

The entire process was very quick and did not offer much time to think. Daily practice is very important before interviewing.
