At Amazon, our delivery route optimization often involves tree-like structures. Here's an interesting problem that reflects similar patterns: Given a binary tree where: Each node contains a single digit (0-9) Each path from root to leaf represents a number For example: path 4+2+1 represents number 421 Write a function to compute the sum of all numbers represented by root-to-leaf paths. Input: root - [1,2,3] 1 2 3 Output: 25 Input: root - [4,9,0,5,1] Output: 1026 4 9. 0 5. 1

The first interviewer asked me two questions: store each level of a binary tree in its own list. The other was a simple dynamic programming problem that requires some context The second interviewer was content with asking me one question about the shortest distance between two words in a document (word index).
