I just had one where an interviewer showed me a problem and it was a recursive tree traversal item then he said "but I don't need you to solve it... here is the full solution" and then showed me code...and then he started with "so what would happen when I delete this part of of the if check here?" and at first it was pretty easy like, "well then you are only checking the left nodes". And he just kept going with questions about 'what about here?" "that is the base case, then we can ever exit"...and they were general tree traversal items so he was checking if I had more than memorized how to solve but the implications of problems...but then he kept going with things like "what change could you make here to go breadth-first instead?" and then other things like "if we had a heuristic to indicate the solution is almost aways deep on the right side of a balanced tree, what changes would you make to this code". And it kept going ...forward edges, back edges... biconnections... and all that from one 'easy leetcode' tree question. And in the end I failed with "we allow applicants a year to reapply and I feel you are pretty strong now but that a year would be enough for you to be where we want, so let's talk in 2025".

Is there a place where you talk about the patterns you learned while solving it the LeetCode problems ?

bro do you realized that leetcode is used for passing the interviews due to competition and it has nothing to do with the job you do ? I mean if somebody asks to build OS kernel from scrach that would make much more sense. Do you think leetcode can be practiced by a cab driver or bus driver who doesnt have any CS degree?
