Process

I had one phone interview and then flew to Seattle. I studied during the entire flight.

I arrived at the hotel room at midnight. I was hungry and got something to eat from a nearby Burger King. The burger was spicy.

I was very nervous and could not sleep the whole night. In the morning, when I arrived at Microsoft, I felt exhausted. I could not answer even simple questions like 'reverse a linked list'.

My advice is: rest well before the interview!

Questions

Reverse a linked list.

Try to do it recursively as well.
