Interview Process
The interview focused on a coding challenge related to the Robot Grid Distance Challenge. The task was to determine the shortest path for a robot on a grid from the start position to the target position. I implemented a Breadth-First Search (BFS) approach and explained my thought process clearly. I addressed edge cases such as obstacles in the grid that could affect the robot’s navigation.
After discussing the approach, I wrote the code in the shared editor. The interviewer asked about the time and space complexity of my solution, and I provided detailed explanations. I concluded by testing my code against various test cases to ensure its accuracy, and the interviewer seemed satisfied with my explanations and approach.
