Process
I met them at the career fair and handed my resume.
I had two rounds of telephonic interviews from Yahoo Sunnyvale. They used Collabedit and asked basic algo-DS questions. They focused on trees and time complexities.
My second interviewer asked CS breadth questions: networking, OS, data structures, and algorithms, but all very basic. He then asked me to code an implementation of a BST.
Questions
- Implement a Binary Search Tree (BST)
- Remove duplicates from an array
