Process

The interview had two rounds and was extremely tough.

In the first round, the interviewer asked some questions regarding my resume and implemented MRU. Since I finished all the questions and coding a little early, the interviewer added one more coding question, which was really difficult.

The second round was about a coding question, similar to "frog cross river." I failed in the algorithm time complexity analysis. Since I came up with two algorithms, the interviewer asked me to consider in which situation the first was better.
