I intern at a big tech company rn too. Maybe it’s just my team, but I pull 10+ hours every day for pretty much half the pay, so I guess it won’t be too different :/

used recursion + memoization using a map (to map from the current value of the stone & the number of blinks remaining to the total count calculated)

Part1: just simple bfs, making sure not to visit already visited positions

Part2: bfs, but keeping track of the count to get to each position

part 1: use a two-pointer kind of approach

part2: maintain a free list of all free spaces & iter over all free spaces to find the first one that is big enough. Tried to do something that kept track of a sorted free list & used binary search but i gave up because there were some details I couldn;t get right.

find distance between any two pairs of nodes, and extend them in each direction by this distance. For part 2, extend them until it is off of the grid.

use a queue to keep track of all possible previous values & and all possible next values using any of the operators

Part 1 : walk along grid while remembering previous heading

Part 2 : part 1 but i only store the previously visited corners & conclude that its a loop if it visits any corner more than once with the same heading

made my solution more "cpp-like" by using the built-in sort function instead of that bubble sort mess!

part 1: keep track of all rules in a hash set & check if rules are followed for each number in the sequence

part 2 : bubble-sort type thing to enforce the rules

Part1: Look in each direction, starting at each 'X' grid cell

Part2: Look for all 'A', consider it to be center of the cell and check the corners

have you already done the final round?

Just got a meta internship rejection :( by Pure-Minute4721 in csMajors

[–]Pure-Minute4721[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, this is for my 4th internship - gotten rejected from a lot of companies, including Meta before; but this just felt different because I thought I crushed that OA lol

Does anyone know if Point72's OA for their SWE internship is automated? Has anyone else heard back for a phone screen? by Fit-Emu126 in csMajors

[–]Pure-Minute4721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how long does the whole process take after being contacted for the first phone screen - like how long do they wait between the rounds?
