Interview questions [2]
Question 1
They gave me a prompt for an idea for an application and asked me various questions about how I might implement it, and why I would do each thing the way I would. They were looking for more theoretical responses with little actual code given.
They gave me a problem to solve with code, then revised the problem and asked me how I would change my solution. I had to write c++ code on paper for this solution.
