Mock Coding Interview: Meeting Rooms (Heap vs Sorting)
Watch a full mock coding interview where the interviewee tackles Meeting Rooms II, one of the most popular interval scheduling problems in coding interviews. This problem asks you to find the minimum number of conference rooms required given a set of overlapping meeting time intervals.
The interview covers the full problem-solving arc from understanding the problem, working through examples on a number line, and arriving at two different solution approaches. You'll see a detailed walkthrough of the sorting-based approach, where start and end times are separated and processed individually to track room count, as well as a conceptual breakdown of the min-heap approach where rooms are allocated based on the earliest ending meeting. The interviewee codes the sorting solution in Java, building a custom Meeting class and using a comparator-based sort.
