I can't give the exact questions, but I can give some tips on what you should know: 1. Perform basic array algorithms in linear time (essentially, solve the question without nested looping; these questions were relatively easy). 2. Know when/how to do DFS and/or BFS traversal. I didn't get the optimal solution, but they accepted my solutions that used these. These were more of a medium challenge. 3. Know class design. This question wasn't hard, but it threw me off the most because I was expecting more of an algorithm-based question.

Can't say, but practice LeetCode a lot to get good at algorithms, even though the questions may not be the same as what's on there. Make sure you recognize the kind of answer that will be best for a given question. Communicate your thought process out loud the whole time as well.
