My first offline coding interview

Last week, I was suggested backend software engineer position in one of Quent companies, Singapore which has branch in Seoul and Tokyo too from headhunter. I just finished my offline coding test and I want to share the story that I got from this experience. 

 

Total time was 150 mins including face-to-face interview like 30 mins. I could spend 2 hours to coding test. The test was all about Trie which is one of data structure used for searching specific string. 

 

Fortunately, I solved almost same problem about Trie from Leetcode in few days ago, I was about to think that it would be pretty easy. However, I got stuck in segmentation fault so that I wasted my time about an hour. At the same time, they wanted to build their code format as a complete class, I was not used to code with class format in c++. 

 

In conclusion, I think my result definitely is not good in my guess. But I want to treat it as one of my challenges. Now, I will share what kind of problem that I've got and solution too in c++ and python.
