Interview Process
The interview process started with a brief introduction. The interviewer presented the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, where I was given a 2D grid and needed to find the shortest distance from the start to the destination while avoiding obstacles. We discussed the approach using Breadth-First Search (BFS). After discussing the algorithm, I implemented it live on the code editor. The interviewer prompted me with edge cases, emphasizing the importance of handling different grid configurations and ensuring no infinite loops occur. We also discussed the complexity of the solution and potential optimizations. I was able to articulate my thought process clearly, which I believe impressed the interviewer. Overall, it was an engaging experience that tested my problem-solving skills and adaptability.
