Interview Process
The interview began with a brief introduction about my background in software engineering. The interviewer inquired about my experience with algorithms and data structures. The first question was related to solving the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, which involved finding the distance a robot would travel in a grid to reach a destination while avoiding certain obstacles.
I explained my solution using a breadth-first search (BFS) approach to find the shortest path and discussed edge cases, such as scenarios where the robot might be surrounded or unable to reach the destination. The interviewer then asked several follow-up questions to test the limits of my implementation and understand my reasoning. The conversation flowed well, and I felt confident in my answers.
