Process

Had a phone interview with a software engineer. He asked me about previous projects I've worked on and gave a good overview of what he worked on in the company and what the company does in general.

I then had to take a long, tough technical interview. This included a speed test on basic math/logic, a series of multiple-choice questions about a made-up programming language, and 4 programming problems.

If you're a CS major, they ask you to do the problems in C, C++, or Java.

They use an online proctoring program called ProctorU to give the test. Make sure your webcam, audio, and microphone all work before your assessment time, as I had issues, which delayed the start time of the test.

Waiting to see if I will move on to an on-site interview.

Questions

There is an alarm keypad that has faulty buttons. The keypad has to accept some incorrect codes, so long as the code contains digits that are in the correct code and in the correct order. For example, if the correct code is "13654", the keypad should accept "13", "165", and "354". Write a program that accepts an input code and determines if it should be accepted or rejected.
