Classic BFS problem, took me about 20 minutes to finish it. No follow up question.\n\nFInished with about 10 minutes left to talk to the interviewer who was very friendly and happy with my solutions.\n\nInterview Tips: Facebook/ META is one of the few companies who DO NOT run your code, so you have to be very clear line by line on your code, they ask you to explain everything and come up with your own testing cases, they wil throw a lot of different cases on you and you have to debug as you go. Clean code and Time seems to be what matters with them.\n\n\n
