Process
The interviewer was very nice and is senior in system design and implementation.
The interview I applied for was for the system group.
The whole process consisted of three parts:
- Introduce yourself and your research work from school. The interviewer asked some questions about my work.
- A couple of programming problems, which were covered by LeetCode. The programming was done on paper, not on a computer.
- Questions about my understanding of computer systems.
Questions
Write a code snippet to implement the memcpy function.
Is there a bug in what you wrote above? How can it be fixed?
How can the implementation be optimized?
