Process

The recruiter and interviewers were pleasant. The process, however, took a considerable amount of time between stages.

I felt I answered most of the questions asked, so I'm unsure why I was unsuccessful.

I am disappointed that I could not receive feedback to understand where I went wrong.

Questions

A smart TV's keyboard has characters a-z and a given width. The actual layout of the keyboard varies accordingly. Given a string containing only characters a-z, and the buttons up, down, left, right, and select, return the sequence of buttons you need to press to get the string, assuming you start at character 'a'.

Example: width = 5; string = "af" answer = select, down, select
