Not difficult. It is like why can not compare two strings. And how to compare one object which initialed as a string with string. The coding quesition is to find the kth in two sorted arrays.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (München, Bayern)
Interview
Very friendly recruiter, she took the time to go through the overall process. I appreciated the attitude.
Sadly I did not match the jobs requirements so it didn't go further than the first HR meeting.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
LinkedIn HR called, phone interview, then onsite interviews, HR was calling frequently to update status (good), one of the interview was just too cold, he wasn't very responsive throughout
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in May 2018
Interview
The interviewer asked 2questions.
One coding question although I wrote the package and relevant classes to be used to solve the problem. Interviewer was not happy, as I wrote code in Java and the interviewer expected it in some other language of his preference. They made me prepare DS, Algorithms, OS, System Design. And asked a non-relevant question not part of any of the subjects asked to prepare. They boast aroud their "Reduced Four" interview process. But, their interviewers need more trainings. Ethical interviews, unethical practices like the EU antiTrust fine.
