Google sde OA help

I have to take the google sde OA and want to know if anyone has done it already? Is it doable or not? I really don’t want to fuck it up lol

Heard google’s oas are easier this year

Just watch out for the phrase “we’re not looking for the optimal solution” and “efficient solution”. One of my questions said they didn’t care whether the solution was optimal, while the other wanted an efficient solution, and that “efficient” was really easy to miss.
Next thing, always test the edge cases. I used an online thing to just print an array with 10000 entries, and it showed TLE, which otherwise I would have ignored.
The actual algorithm for questions is not that hard, but these small things are easy to miss. Good luck! (if you haven’t already taken it)
