i dont like the way it was phrased. its better in the original format of just, given a list of ints, return a list where each elem is product of all except that elem.

I cant really judge, I would be hapy to have received this on an interview cause I've seen a variation of the problem on leetcode.

I just went through the interview loops at several FANGS, firs time doing this and got several offers, including G. I used to be super scared of even applying for fear of rejection because I thought I wasn't smart enough. I am self taught with lib arts degree from an average school, low gpa.

but I actually enjoyed learning these problems and figuring out solutions, and as time went on it got easier and easier. I enjoyed the interview process and had a good experience everywhere except FB.

my suggestion to those who are striving for FANG is just to keep practicing the questions and try to have fun with it, and go into the interviews with a positive, collaborative attitude.
