Questions:

- Basic Calculator II
Candidate's Approach
For the first question, I quickly reached the solution and discussed the time and space complexity with the interviewer. I performed well without making any mistakes.
For the second question, I had seen it during my preparation. My approach was correct, and I attempted to solve it without using extra space. However, I panicked during the coding phase, which led to some bugs in my code. I managed to identify and correct some of the issues, but a couple of bugs remained by the end of the time limit.
Interviewer's Feedback
The interviewer was friendly and mentioned that I had a strong foundation. He acknowledged that mistakes can happen in a stressed environment, which made me feel a bit better about my performance.
