Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.

First interview - been told that is going to be coding but asked only logical questions. The interview was 2 questions, each one with 3 sections, 2 different interviewers, two hours interview.

Questions

You have a system with 2 inputs and 2 outputs, which outputs the maximum and minimum of the two numbers that enter it.

Using this system, you will build a 4 by 4 system that performs the division into maximum and minimum, from top to bottom.
