First round Technical Telephone Screen:

Python coding challenge in a shared Google Doc.

Phone interview - 45-minute call with an engineer.

Two problems:

• One warm-up.
• Then a few minutes after for me to ask questions.

All in all, thoroughly enjoyable. It felt more like pair-programming with the interviewer than like an interview.

1. Write a function that converts a dictionary to a JSON string.

Input: python d = {} d['a1'] = 1 d['a2'] = "str" d['a3'] = True d['a4'] = {...}

Output: json '{"a1":1,"a2":"str","a3","a4":{"b1":...}}'

1. Write a function that determines if a list of integers is in the same order as a second list of integers.

• Do not assume the first list is distinct/unique.
• Do assume the second list is.

Input: python s1 = [6,4,2,8,9,6,2,2] s2 = [4,2,9]

Output:

True
