Interview Questions
An interview question asked concerned the implementation of an efficient symbol table. This included space and time requirements. There were required details about the specifics of implementing the usual methods in such an api, such as put(), get(), contains(), iterables, size(). Had to pass test cases. Different size inputs. Pathological cases. Effective implementation and code clarity were important. No use of external libraries. Time limit being a few hours if I recall correctly, which was a challenge.
