Algorithmic interview questions should ideally have multiple solutions of varying complexity. The "brute force" solution should be obvious to anyone competent enough. If they are a…

In interviews and in general, it usually is a good idea to get a correct yet inefficient solution and then try to optimize it. This usually yields better insights in my experience.…
