Process

I was contacted by a hiring manager about an interview. The following week, I had a technical phone interview.

Questions:

  1. List all permutations of a string. For example, if you're given "abc", the output should be "abc", "acb", "bca", "bac", "cab", "cba".
  2. Fibonacci series - both recursively and iteratively. Explain which one is better in terms of memory and speed of execution.

I did not hear back from them even after a month.
