Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Had a technical phone interview. I didn't understand most of the time because of the interviewer's accent. The questions were relatively easy compared to others, but I spent time figuring out what the interviewer was saying.

Questions

public static int getInput(String badEncStr) { //TODO:

}

/** Returns an int if testEncStr is a valid capitalization, else returns -1. */ private static int decode(String testEncStr) {

if (testEncStr.equals("nJKeY")) {
    System.out.println("pass: ");
    return 848662;
} else {
    System.out.println("fail: ");
    return -1;
}

}
