I solved it without any hints. question2: A question with a variant offinding the contiguous subarray which has the largest sum: I solved it without any hints.

Round 2: LLD The question was to design an online system where a user can see the number of other online users.Follow up: There are multiple data centre and a load balancer. I had to tellhow load balancer and other data centre will communicate.

Round 3: HLD He asked me to design Facebook feed from scratch. I had to ask clarifying questions but it went well.
