Code Problem / Data Structures and Algorithms DifficultyMedium JavaScript
This technical problem deals with how to print all possible permutations of a given string using recursion. For example, if the input string is "abc", the output would be all six possible permutations of the string: "abc", "acb", "bac", "bca", "cab", and "cba".
About this solution: This is a good solution that uses recursion to generate all permutations of a given string. The time complexity of this solution is O(n!), which is optimal.

Code Problem / Data Structures and Algorithms DifficultyMedium C#
To find the maximum depth of a binary tree, we can use recursion. First, we need to check if the tree is empty. If not, we need to find the maximum depth of the left and right subtrees. The maximum depth of the tree is the maximum of the left and right subtrees' depths, plus one.
About this solution: The candidate's solution correctly finds the maximum depth of a binary tree. The solution uses a recursive approach, which is a good approach for this problem. The solution is clear and easy to understand.

Code Problem / Data Structures and Algorithms DifficultyMedium JavaScript
This technical problem deals with returning all possible subsets of a given set of distinct integers. For example, if the input is [1,2,3], the output should be all possible subsets of those integers, which are [], [1], [2], [3], [1,2], [1,3], [2,3], and [1,2, 3].
About this solution: This is a good solution. It is recursive and correctly implements the algorithm. It is also optimal in terms of time and space complexity.

This problem asks you to write a function to reverse a singly linked list in place. The input is a singly linked list, and the output should be the same list, but reversed .
About this solution: The candidate's solution is a good attempt at solving the problem. However, there are a few things that could be improved. First, the candidate does not mention what the input and output of the function are. It is assumed that the input is a singly linked list and the output is the reversed singly linked list. Second, the candidate does not mention any edge cases that need to be considered. For example, what if the linked list is empty? What if the linked list has only one node? Third, the candidate's explanation of the while loop could be more clear. In particular, it is not entirely clear what is happening when the current node is set to the next node. Overall, the candidate's solution is a good attempt at solving the problem. With some clarification, it could be a great solution.
