šŸŽÆHow landed on the interview?

Applied via - Referral

Round 1: Machine/Platform Coding

Hard1 hr

āœ… Questioned on how JS Engine works?

āœ… Implement a Nested File Explorer Component in React with the following requirements:

  1. The component should maintain a hierarchical structure in the UI.
  2. Each directory should persist its own expandable/collapsible state (just like VS Code).
  3. Implement Create, Rename, and Delete options.

I messed up managing some states, making things hard and couldn’t fulfill the last requirement. 

Round 2: DSA

Moderate1 hr

āœ… Asked a DSA Problem based on strings (Find All Anagrams in a String)

āœ… Write a polyfill of Lodash’s Flatten Method with the levels parameter.

āœ… More questions around the performance, memory leaks & React.

Final Thoughts

Even though I didn’t get any response, I believe that I messed up managing some states in round 2 that why I couldn’t make it to one of the top PBCs.
