Process

The hiring process started with a recruiter, followed by a simple 1:1 phone interview. It involved an easy question to solve a BST. Any computer science student should know all algorithms when applying to Yahoo!

Questions

Prove that the number of nodes in a BST is 2^h - 1, where h is the height, using Mathematical Induction! Huh! I learned it in school but was fortunate enough to recall.
