Had my meta screening yesterday and waiting for a response anxiously.
first one i explained solution correctly with time complexity and coded it as fast as possible to get to the second question. interviewer hinted i had a bug at some line and i managed to see it and fix it.
for second problem he wanted the repetition count of the target instead.
I explained brute force solution and then i said that im thinking it can be better by using binary search and started thinking of it and doing examples but he stopped me and gave me a hint on finding boundaries of the target. i quickly explained the solution after he hinted and agreed.
had 10 minutes to code it and managed to code it while explaining what im doing, then when i finished i began to verify it and he told me thats ok no need.
I hope i passed and didnt fail because of the hints
Edit: went well apparently and moving to the next stage.
