There was no difficult or unexpected questions. for instance: -sort an array with just two types of elements, optimize your algorithm -find common letters in two strings and put them in a sorted order -compare sorting algorithms

Simple linked list question I wasn't prepared to deal with (it had been a while since I practiced my coding, and I had midterms so I didn't have time). Elements of a linked list can have a "dirty" boolean tag, implement void setDirty(node) and boolean hasDirtyDescendants(node)

The on-site interview consisted of five technical questions; code was required for four of the five: 1. Write a small parser for strings that determines whether a string is a sequence of space-separated words 2. Write an API for working with a specific type of document 3. Given an undirected cyclic graph, find all paths from A to B without cycles 4. The delivery of the fourth question was very confusing - basically they wanted me to implement a stack as a means of counting parentheses 5. Given a function prototype and a return value, hypothesize regarding 'what happened' The on-campus interview was a single technical question; the interviewer was extremely bored: A. I've forgotten this question; it was a relatively trivial string analysis problem
