I was encouraged to discuss my thought process and approach as I worked through the solution. After explaining my initial thoughts, I wrote code to calculate the distance, ensuring to account for all edge cases. The interviewer asked me to optimize my solution, which I found challenging but manageable. Finally, we discussed my understanding of algorithms and data structures and how I apply them in real-world scenarios. The conversation was friendly and insightful, leaving me feeling optimistic about my performance.
