Given two strings, A and B, of the same length n, find whether it is possible to cut both strings at a common point such that the first part of A and the second part of B form a palindrome.

You’ll often get standard algorithms and data structures questions as part of your interview process as a machine learning engineer that might feel akin to a software engineering interview. In this case, this comes from Google’s interview process. There are multiple ways to check for palindromes—one way of doing so if you’re using a programming language such as Python is to reverse the string and check to see if it still equals the original string, for example. The thing to look out for here is the category of questions you can expect, which will be akin to software engineering questions that drill down to your knowledge of algorithms and data structures. Make sure that you’re totally comfortable with the language of your choice to express that logic.
