Two sorted arrays. you can start from any one them, and then at common element you may or may not jump to other array. Continue in this manner till you reach the end of an array. Find the path that results the maximum sum.

Phone Interview 1: (1)Find maximum height of BST. This is easy using recursion. Then he asked me to do it iteratively, which I somehow managed to solve. (2)The Dutch flag problem. This was not tough. But the next question was tough. It was about finding particular keys in a dictionary. They have a custom function that tells you if a key is in the dictionary and you to find out if for given input, you get required output. For example -- The dictionary is like: {hi,hello,sir,how, are, you} And you have a function isWord(x) that tells you if a particular word is in that dictinary. So if the input is hisirhowareyou the output must be hi sir how are you I couldn't solve this problem. :(

Expectation for coding Questions: Must be sort of analytical questions testing knowledge of DS/Algos and problem-solving skills, that could be done in 65-70 minutes. Reality: Problem Solving tricky questions, I would say they are not really checking candidate's Data Structures knowledge. Standard DS/Algos can be used to come up with the sol, but again coming up with the optimised sol. is the challenging part, I feel. I though it could only be done in the given time frame with most optimised approach, only if candidate had gone through that kind of question in the past. Brute Force or Semi-optimised approach can be thought of, but coming up with most optimised approach in the given time frame, needs some serious practice and some luck too😅. According to me, either questions' difficulty level should be reduced or time can be increased.
