This was not unexpected but a bit difficult. How would you represent the ordering of a deck of card if you only have 32bytes to work with. So, he explained that you have 52 objects, there are 52! possible ordering of them. how to encode one of those ordering within 32 bytes?
Milestone 2) Will ask to optimize by reducing the number of unfulfilled orders. The apis will be confusing and you will have two interviews during the coding session.
I cannot share specific questions. But they will check the basics of your dev knowledge.
How many race heats are needed to find the 3 fastest pinewood derby cars out of a field of 8, if only 4 cars can run at a time (assuming that every car will always run the way/speed and each lane is exactly equivalent)?
Find shortest substring in a string that contains all of a set of characters.
Imagine dropping a Rubik's Cube into a bucket of paint. How many of the cubes will get paint on them?
Intersection of two numerical arrays
Return the max k numbers from an unsorted integer array. Each number in the array is in the range [0, 10000).
Design an algorithm to find the first unique element in an array.
Question was "Given a pattern and a string input - find if the string follows the same pattern and return 0 or 1. Examples: 1) Pattern : "abba", input: "redblueredblue" should return 1. 2) Pattern: "aaaa", input: "asdasdasdasd" should return 1. 3) Pattern: "aabb", input: "xyzabcxzyabc" should return 0. I saw someone else had a similar question, but it was much much easier as the other candidate was given spaces between words to help identify individual words to pattern match.
