Process

I received an email asking when I could be interviewed over the phone, and I was given technical questions on the very first call.

On this call, the interviewer was not friendly and did not let me know if my answers were heading in the correct direction. She was unhelpful and never gave any positive feedback whatsoever, even though I now know some of my answers were correct.

Questions

How would you create a program that only returns integers in the array that can add up to a particular number?

What could be wrong with implementing a stack with an ArrayList?
