Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

There was an initial HR phone screen about background, etc., plus a 1-hour online coding interview. For the coding part, they pretty much expect you to just code it without even thinking.

Questions

You are given a web server log file (list of timestamp, verb, URI, status code).

Print a report showing:

  • The count per unique verb-URI-code.
  • The number of active users (taken from the URI).
