Interview Process
The interview started with a brief introduction about the company. The interviewer then asked about my previous experiences. We moved on to the coding challenge, which involved the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, where I had to calculate the minimum distance for a robot on a grid to reach a destination. I described my thought process and implemented a solution using a breadth-first search algorithm. The interviewer seemed satisfied with my approach and asked me to optimize the code. After coding, we discussed trade-offs in different algorithms. Lastly, the interviewer provided feedback and explained the next steps in the interview process.
