I was contacted by a recruiter via mass email regarding a hiring event for the Cloud OS team. The email directed me to send a reply with my most current resume and fill out a survey. The survey asked general questions about my education, goals, and professional (coding/project) experience.

The same recruiter called me back within two days, and we chatted briefly about my career goals. After a 30-minute, non-technical discussion, the recruiter invited me to take the OTS, which would be a basic skills assessment on elementary concepts like trees, linked lists, and queues. I thought, "These are some things I may not have seen in a while."

I'm not through with the process yet, but I wanted to get this question up before I forgot it, as there were not many example questions online regarding the OTS. I hope it helps someone else!

You are writing a simulation for a print server. This print server can accept jobs from 3 places: network, USB, or operator. It can dispatch only one job at a time. Each input job should contain an integer t, which is the time in seconds it will take to process the job. Write a multi-threaded program to simulate the server and provide some simulated load with jobs. Think of some interesting statistics your program should emit and code them in.

Write a function that takes a string as input and outputs an integer, e.g., turning "1234" into 1234.
