Phone interview review 1hr:
- Interviewer introduce himself
- Me introduce myself
a. project you are proud of & why
b. why Bloomberg
- Coding problem:
Given two string, how to tell if they are anagram? (https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-anagram/)
I wrote my solution in C.
* Follow up questions:
a. What is the runtime & space complexity?
b. What if the element are not just alphabet, but could be anything (number, Korean letter, emoji..)?
--> Using high-level language: Hash table
c. Modify the current code to output how many characters you need to change in order to make the two string anagram?
d. Runtime & space complexity?
- Me asking him questions about Bloomberg
The interviewer is very friendly and chatty. Even if I didn't understand his questions sometimes, he didn't make me feel stupid. It is a collaborative process and we optimised my solution together.
I'm waiting for the feedback now.
