The round began with a discussion on favorite subjects and project experiences.
The candidate clarified requirements regarding overlapping tags and repeated occurrences before starting the implementation.
The candidate proposed an optimized approach using a boolean array to track indices that require bolding, avoiding brute force.
The interviewer requested the candidate to write the code first before explaining, and subsequently asked for debugging statements to be added to the implementation.
The candidate demonstrated robustness by providing self-generated test cases to verify the solution.
Questions Asked
Given a string and a list of tags, wrap all occurrences of the tags in the string with bold tags (<b>...</b>), ensuring overlapping tags are handled correctly.
