Hi, I'm [YOUR_NAME], a [YOUR_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. I'm excited to work through some coding problems with you today.
•
Before we begin, do you have any questions about the interview process?
•
Great, let's dive into the coding problems.
Coding Challenge

Problem 1: Two Sum
Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to target.
You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.
You can return the answer in any order.
Examples:
vbnet
Copy code
Input: nums =
Output:
Explanation: Because nums
[0] + nums
[1] == 9, we return
Input: nums =
Output:
Follow-Up Questions:
What is the time complexity of your solution?
Can you find a solution with better time complexity?
How would your approach change if the array is sorted?
•
Problem 2: Merge Two Sorted Lists
Merge two sorted linked lists and return it as a new sorted list. The new list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.
Example:
makefile
Copy code
Input: l1 =
Output:
Follow-Up Questions:
What is the time complexity of your solution?
How would you handle large lists that might not fit in memory?
•
If you had more time, what would you improve in your solutions?
•
Good job on the coding problems.
