Phase 4b (Problem Solving) ii. Given an array of integers, find the longest subarray where the absolute difference between any two elements is less than or equal to 1. Example There are two subarrays meeting the criterion: and . The maximum length subarray has elements. Function Description Complete the pickingNumbers function in the editor below. pickingNumbers has the following parameter(s): int a[n]: an array of integers Returns int: the length of the longest subarray that meets the criterion Input Format A = [1,1,2,2,4,4,5,5,5] The first line contains a single integer , the size of the array . The second line contains space-separated integers, each an . Ans: [4,4,5,5,5] Constraints 2<=n<=100 0< a[i]<100 The answer will be >=2 6 4 6 5 3 3 1 Answer: 3 {4,3,3} 6 1 2 2 3 1 2 Answer: 5 {1,2,2,1,2}

The algorithm questions were standard questions involving arrays and strings, nothing too difficult or that couldn't be trained for. The debugging session was more of a collaborative white boarding session (shared screen on google hangouts) going through a scenario of figuring out why a service was having issues. The engineers running the interview would give a basic outline of the architecture and you would need to ask for more information to get to the bottom of the issue. The systems design question involved architecting a new feature for uploading photos to playlists.
