Process
Very stiff. Mostly did not answer questions, only asking for the solution.
Pretty easy algorithms on an easy/medium level.
Hard SQL, where the first task was quite easy, but the second took me 30 minutes to figure out.
Questions
Write the minimum distance between two vectors:
v1 = [23, 0, 10] v2 = [17, -4, 22]
Func(v1, v2) should return 1 (v1[0] - v2[2]).
