Process
Applied online and a recruiter replied within a week. She asked me to complete a 1-hour HackerRank online challenge within the next day. I was very busy, but still made time to complete it. I solved the question adequately, and it passed every test case. I followed up but did not receive a response. It was rather rude on their part.
Questions
The question was based on darts. You're given 2 players' throws as input and should output the result of the match. It was hard to explain since the prompt was very long.
