白板部分
问了 Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock (#121) 变种 - instead of stocks it was buckets of corn.
Link : https://leetcode.com/problems/best-time-to-buy-and-sell-stock
Problem: Say you have an array for which the ith element is the price of a given stock on day i. If you were only permitted to complete at most one transaction (i.e., buy one and sell one share of the stock), design an algorithm to find the maximum profit. Note that you cannot sell a stock before you buy one.
Example :
Input : [7,1,5,3,6,4]
Output : 5
Explanation :
Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-1 = 5.
Not 7-1 = 6, as selling price needs to be larger than buying price.
I initially found an O(n^2) solution and wrote it out on the whiteboard while discussing my thought process and talking with the other engineers. Eventually I was able to widdle this down to O(n), which the engineers seemed satisfied enough with.
我觉得AT＆T的面试经历挺专业和高效的。我有几个offer，但我想我可能会选择这个。
