process paypal fucked me with rotate

[weary glade]

bro you still got it

Is it this one https://leetcode.com/problems/rotate-image

[ebon gulch]

yea but also flip image vertically and horizontally

I also have no lin alg experience

So I got knowledge gapped

I could barely transpose the matrix let alone knowing to reflect it diagonally is beyond me

[weary glade]

wdym by vertically and horizontally and diagonally

[ebon gulch]

So u rotate first then u gotta flip the rotated image vert and horiz

[weary glade]

oh shit i see

so transpose then reverse

then col reverse and row reverse

can we go on dm*

[ebon gulch]

U def not getting this question

[weary glade]

wait why not did you do full stack swe intern

[ebon gulch]

Cuz i want backend

[weary glade]

ohh i see

[ebon gulch]

ill see u in mclean lil bro

[deft gale]

wait was that your first interview question or second?

[covert saffron]

bro, I got this one insane sorting problem 😭 i STILL don’t know what approach I could’ve taken to solve it lmfao

i tried to show thought process and communicate, and the interviewer commended me on that afterwards, but dang

[weary glade]

yo if you dont mind what question was it

[ebon gulch]

No but did we just get rnged or was this year just suppsoed to be hard

It was chill last year according to online sources

[covert saffron]

i have no idea, man 😭 all we can do is hope we showed competence to the interviewers

[covert saffron]

something involving sorting sublogs in an array of logs by date and time something something

it sounds easy, but trust me, i was COOKED. interviewer literally told me i could look stuff up, and even then 💀

[weary glade]

Can’t you use sorted( and then lambda function)

that sounds complicated tho

wont lie

[covert saffron]

I tried that. Didn’t work, because using the lambda would only sort by one parameter, but you needed to sort by multiple

I managed to sort by year

[weary glade]

what did he say did he say it was harder or easier than you thought it to be

why are these intereviews lieterally anything lol

[covert saffron]

It was def harder. By the end, i asked for the answer, and he solved it. When he did, both of us laughed, cuz there was no way I was gonna do allat 😂

but ngl, the aim is to show you understand data structures, and he said he was impressed i made it that far

[weary glade]

ok that’s good as long as you made him laugh>>>

yeah bro that’s fire

don’t stress ghen

[covert saffron]

yea, all i can do is hope. goodluck on your interview!

[weary glade]

yeah bro thanks sorry for all the q lol

were you backend or fullstack

[covert saffron]

backend

[dense wind]

You can just use tuples to sort by multiple things

[cinder lantern]

@ebon gulch what were the initials of the interviewer?

[celest mountain]

i think i had the same q i just solved it with a lambda sort with 2 elements

[covert saffron]

i kept messing up the syntax for that and couldn't figure it out. damn..

[deft gale]

that's what I got brother

inititally I sorted by both date and time but then the interviewer had to give me a hint that you have to sort by year first then by month then by day and then by time
