Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was scheduled for a phone screen, and then an engineer called me.

He asked me some algorithmic questions about data structures and about how to implement a calculator. He also posed a brainteaser-type question.

Questions

Implement a calculator, describing how to represent the different symbols, hold them in memory, and perform the right order of operations.
