Process
I met a recruiter on my college campus. A few days later, she called me for an on-campus interview.
Questions
I was asked to write some code on paper. The question was to create a function that took in two rectangles and returned true if they overlapped and false if they didn't.
I was then asked to flip the paper and create 10 cases to test my code.
