Round 1
Questions:
- Pow(x, n)
- Minesweeper (slight variation)
The first question was straightforward, and I explained the solution well, running the code with a few examples. The interviewer asked me to run the code instead of dry running, and I did so, asking if he had any examples he wanted to test.
The second question did not go well as I took more time on the first question and didn't have sufficient time for the second. The solution wasn't enough.
Candidate's Approach
For the first question, I provided a clear explanation and executed the code with examples as requested. For the second question, I started the solution but mismanaged my time, thinking I had more time left than I actually did.
Interviewer's Feedback
The feedback was that I would not be moving forward for an onsite interview. I received an email from the recruiter the next day.
