Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn.

I showed interest, and they scheduled a 45-minute technical phone interview with an engineer.

It went okay, but I never heard back after that.

Questions

Decode string based on criteria. I am just pasting what I had on Codility.

// (TOP)

// |||||||| // |||r||||| | // |b|r|b|r|b|r|| | (GRAVITY) // |b|b|b|r|r|b|| v // |b|r|r|b|b|r|| // |r|b|b|r|r|r|b|

// (BOTTOM)

// _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ r _ _ _ _ b r b r b r _ ... // 9_1r4_1b1r1b1r1b1r1_... // 9_r4_brbrbr_... // 9_r4_brbrbr_3b2rb_b2r2br_r2b3rb

javascript function decode_cfn_string(cfnString) { // TODO var parentArray = []; var row = []; for (let i = 0; i <= cfnString.length; i++) { console.log(cfnString[i]); if (i % 7 === 0 && row.length > 7) { row = []; } if (!isNaN(cfnString[i])) { if (cfnString[i].length <= 7) { for (let j = 0; j < parseInt(cfnString[i]); j++) { row.push(cfnString[i + 1]); } if (row.length === 7) { parentArray.push(row); } } } } }

decode_cfn_string('9_r4_brbrbr_3b2rb_b2r2br_r2b3rb');

// Expected output structure: // [ // ["", "", "", "", "", "", ""], // ["", "", "r", "", "", "", "_"], // ... // ]
