Process

Interviewed on campus: I was asked to code a technical question and then to write test cases for it. I first coded the answer on paper, then explained.

My code was surprisingly cleaner than I expected, and that too on paper. Then, the interviewer described his role and what his team does. Following this, I was asked a few HR questions. These questions are basically to gauge your technical aptitude.

I was contacted through email about selection for the next round. A few days later, an interview date was fixed, and then the logistics were worked out. It was an all-expenses-paid trip.

They won't give you a chance to complain. Food, hotel, and transportation were all just awesome. The day following my arrival, I had my interviews.

They have limo services that take you to the Microsoft campus at Redmond. I had 4 back-to-back rounds.

Questions

The interviewer confused me like hell when describing the question.

Every node of the tree has a pointer to its leftmost child. Each node has a pointer to its next sibling. It's a BST. Find the smallest value in the tree.
