Process
First, they had me do an online coding assessment of four JavaScript questions. They were challenging, but I thought I did well. Evidently, my qualifications were not a match for the position (new grad).
Questions
Fix the following JavaScript so it returns X instead of Y (strange closure behavior).
Write a function addSubtract that will do the following:
addSubtract(5)(8)(3) -> 5 + 8 - 3 -> 10
addSubtract(2)(1)(1)(5)(3)(2) -> 2 + 1 - 1 + 5 - 3 + 2 -> 6
etc.
