I have an upcoming interview with Datadog. Has anyone recently interviewed with them ? What should I expect ?
## Problem "Mado" means window in Japanese. Given an `m x n` integer matrix and a window size `k`, compute the sum of every valid `k x k` submatrix. Return all sums in a result matrix of size `(m-k+1) x (n-k+1)`. Optimize beyond the naive O(m * n * k^2) approach. ```python def mado_sum(matrix: list[list[int]], k: int) -> list[list[int]]: ... ``` ``` Input: matrix = [ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9] ] k = 2 Output: [ [12, 16], # top-left 2x2: 1+2+4+5=12; top-right: 2+3+5+6=16 [24, 28] # bot-left: 4+5+7+8=24; bot-right: 5+6+8+9=28 ] ``` ## Follow-ups 1. Describe the 2D prefix sum technique. What is its time and space complexity? 2. How does your approach handle matrices where `k > min(m, n)`? 3. What if instead of sum you need the maximum value in each window? How does your approach change? 4. Extend to a 3D tensor with window size `k x k x k`. How does the prefix sum generalize?
