Financial Software Developer Intern Interview Experience

Process

I had an on-campus interview that resulted from a career fair. I attended my interview.

The first question I was asked was very obscure. I eventually ended up answering it, but it was very atypical.

Two more questions followed, the specifics of which I cannot recall.

I received a call about an hour later asking for a round two interview the next day. I attended this interview and flawlessly answered all of the questions asked (relatively short, and I talked about my previous experience with algorithms).

About a week after the interview, I received an email saying that I did not get the position.

All in all, I'm not too disappointed, as I wasn't incredibly interested in interning at the company. However, I'm a little surprised that I was rejected despite being called back for a round two and performing very well at that. The first interview seemed to go well too, as the interviewers seemed impressed. Anyway, perhaps I was just overly optimistic.

Questions

There are two Mars rovers on a 2-dimensional plane (Mars?), as well as two sensors.

One rover is between the two sensors, and the other is outside.

Write a program using only forward(), backward(), and onSensor() : boolean to ensure that the rovers will collide.
