Oh ripp

rapid dagger Jan 16, 2025, 2:22 PM

#

they ask easy-meds

#

yeee

#

i aced one of them

#

then the second one i came up with the optimal soln, but i didnt explain brute force (which was super super easy) or ask clarifying questions, and my code didnt compile

#

sooo ye

#

basically did everything wrong

worldly stream Jan 16, 2025, 2:23 PM

#

ohh shii 😭

#

knowing the solution but code doesnt compile is the worst

turbid tapir Was it Two Sum?

lmao

#

no

#

easy-ish mathy problem that led into a simplified version of task scheduler

i aced that interview

take an ip address (string) and a list of countries with ip ranges (string), then determine which country the ip address matches to

which can easily be solved in O(N) IF you know how to convert ip address into long. which in theory is not actually that hard if u think about bit-masking but i panicked and just didnt try to implement that part. (interviewer gave it to me with about 10 mins to spare in the interview since he could see i wasnt coming up with it).

i fucked up because i didnt do the O(N) solution i just dove into explaining how u can optimize with binary search. but i didnt discuss why that would be better since its technically slower for the case where youre only doing a few lookups. my code also didnt compile. turns out i had a small error in a line or two. interviewer told me afterwards that it was simple fix but i got the optimal algo.

also the interviewer wanted to yap a lot at the start too so i only had like 30 mins. also also this was my first interview so im kinda shit at interviewing. and i havent done enough leetcode

#

so yep just a tragedy of mistakes culminating in me not getting the $250k/yr bag
