Process
HackerRank challenge.
It was lengthy; there was no thought process involved. It felt like a typing speed contest.
I used C++, but the challenge required Python.
Applied online. I got a rejection because I couldn't finish the challenge.
Questions
Class registration system. You have to implement 9 functions, such as:
- Create/delete classes
- Create/delete students
- Enroll/de-enroll a student to a class
- Remove a class (deregister all students)
I was writing the same checks over and over again. Maybe I should have used Python.
