Process
Gave resume at career fair. Received an email for a phone interview about a month later.
The 30-45 minute phone interview asked how to merge two sorted lists in linear time. The interviewer seemed to be a regular guy, and it wasn't a bad experience.
Question: Merge two sorted lists (of integers) in linear time. Ensure you account for possible duplicates. The approach is similar to how lists are merged in mergesort. For example, if x[0] > y[0], then list_to_be_returned[0] = x[0], and you would then advance to x[1:] and repeat the process.
