The phone screen consists of an interviewer calling you, asking a random question they found on HackerRank or a similar site, and then you solve it. They do not guide you through or attempt to collaborate. Once they ask the question, the rest of the interview is dead air on their side until you say you're finished.
Skills emphasized by Wish include:
Given a 2D boolean array arranged to represent a map, where T is land and F is water, count the number of islands (conjoined patches of land completely surrounded by water) in the map.
Given an unsorted array of arbitrary integers, define a sequence as numerically-consecutive numbers (e.g. 1 2 3 4 5 is a sequence). Find the length of the longest sequence in the array. Note that the numerically consecutive sequences need not be consecutive in the array (e.g. 3 4 2 5 1 is a sequence of length 5). Perform this task in O(n) time.
