Process

I was referred by an Uber employee and received a call back from a recruiter soon after. After chatting about my background and a few projects, I was invited for a phone interview on coding skills.

Questions

The first question is a coding question to finish a program that can group the same anagrams together.

The second one is a follow-up to the first. It's said that the input file is now 10GB on disk, and the memory limitation is only 2GB.

Give a solution that could group anagrams together by using the available memory and output the result to a file on disk.
