Interview Process
The interview consisted of two technical questions, lasting approximately 35 minutes. The first question involved string manipulation, where I had to deal with boundary conditions. The interviewer provided a hint regarding a test case, which helped me arrive at a solution. The second question focused on tree traversal. Initially, I implemented a Depth-First Search (DFS) solution, but the interviewer asked me to rewrite it using Breadth-First Search (BFS). After completing the BFS implementation, the interviewer indicated that I had provided enough information.
