Overall, I am very grateful of my recruter, she was VERY VERY VERY (Yes, three all cap VERYs) responsive, helpful, informative. She often replies me in minutes, longest was probably still less than 24 hrs. Besides hard work I did on my own, I could not have done this without her help. She has kept this stressful and anxious process to the absolute minimum for me. I just wish all other recruiters can be like her.

报个我的

第一题 https://leetcode.com/problems/single-number/
I gave hashmap solution quickly. Implemented and discussed about the time and space complexity.
Follow Up:
Memory constraint in adding to the hashmap (Solution should be without using extra memory). Took some time here and came up with the bit maniulation solution. My solution was to XOR the whole list and return the final result.

第二题 https://leetcode.com/problems/single-number-ii/ with a variation of memory constraint (No extra memory). Expected solution was bit manipulation here also. We discussed some bit patterns. By the time I could come with the solution time was up already.

The interviewer was very friendly. Asked him few questions about his work and that’s it. Overall it was a great experience.
