Tips for Design Problems:

In an interview setting when some asks design questions, you should have a conversation in which you demonstrate an ability to think creatively, understand design trade-offs, and attack unfamiliar problems. You should schetch key data structures and algorithms, as well as the technology stack(pl, libraries, OS, hardware, and services) that you would use to solve the problem. Some specific things to keep in mind are implementation time, scalability, testability, security, and internationalization.
