sure you can, kid.

Define "high quality". Also if you're asking me to develop audio and video libraries in assembly be sure to allot a million bucks annually for my salary.

20 you win game
30 you lose, try again, goto 10
40 (reserved for DLC)

>How emotionally aware are you of your surroundings?

That's comparing two strings in o(n) time with constant space. I'd give you bonus points if you can spot intentional problem with that code but you can't even.

How many blades of grass are there on the planet? I was asked that by a guy I worked with, since he did some of the interviewing. It was a small business, but apparently everyone gave him a different answer lol. I'm more of a scientific person I pounded that shit out from the radius of the Earth to surface area, with estimates on densities.

do tell goy

This. I like strong charismatic people.

It's a while loop but it should be an until loop.

>How many blades of grass are there on the planet?
It's one of those stupid questions that don't really test anything except interview preparation.
>muh round manhole covers

no it shouldn't.

Who the fuck uses "until" nowadays?
The compiler knows its shit and will not give a fuck, a different person reading your crap will need a double take just because you wanted to show off obsolete misfeatures.
It's trigraph tier shit.

And that's why they don't hire Computer Science/Computer Engineers. Way too autismal to get work done.

>>Reverse the words in a sentence, i.e. "My name is Chris" becomes "Chris is name My." Optimize for speed and space.
Reverse iterator on characters, build reversed words, stop at each space and reverse them back into the string you build. Trivial.

>>Compare two strings using O(n) time with constant space.
while(*s && *t) if (*s++ != *t++) return false; return !(*s || *t);

>>Find the nth element from the end of a linked list (where n < size of list).
n-sized array of pointers used as a queue, read its tail when done.

This would errirneously return true if first sting was shorter than second. If you check for loop break after checking character equality then it works as intended. Or you could use a for loop.
>for (;*s++==*d++;) if (*s=='\0') return true; return false;

Effing Millenials..

Yeah but you’re not gonna like it

Implement Fizzbuzz in 3 different ways.
One solution mustn‘t use the following operators:
, =
One solution must not use the following operators:
, =, ==

>Spoiler:
>solution one uses counters, solution two uses boolean flip-flop variables

...or you could use modulo and not and have the same solution for both.

Post increment fucks up that logic, it's completed before the second check. A valid code is a bit more elaborate. Also pointers.
while ( *a == *b ) if ( *a == '\0' ) return true; else a++, b++; return false;

Casually throw this at him during a small talk
>Have you lived here for more than a few months? Great, I actually moved recently for this job but don't really know where to go on a Friday night, can you recommend me a good club in this city?
Failure to answer this is an instant no because the loser will most likely be an asocial weirdo who'll either be unproductive with the rest of the team or cause drama and fragmentation by having everyone avoid and dislike him, or worse, is an incel in his 20s.

( a == b ) is equivalent to !( a - b )

The worst interview question I've ever gotten: Prove to me you know programming.

Hey interview lady if you're reading this, this middle finger is for you. How the fuck is anyone to know they answered the question correctly in your fucked up imagionation of yours.

Why would you ask him this?
You can tell incel by his incel look. They have this sheepish right-winged zombie stare.

True, you need to filter the retards quickly as once you start asking them technical questions the interview could be 2 hours long waiting for them to finish their scrawling answers, and it would be a major HR no-no to stop them mid question.

What does that have to do with the OP's criteria?

Google interview question I got:
Given a string of characters output the biggest palendrome you can form from it. You don't have to output the ties, just one.

>How many line can you code in one hour?

Up until Playstation, ALL console games were assembly.

a=a+b
b =a-b
a= a-b

now, implement a non-recursive merge sort method on an array of size n.

Everything was programmed in assembly back then, and only by a few people, often just one. When people didn't expect you to simulate every cockroach's flatulence, simpler times.

It's just a simple database search problem. Weird that they'd ask it at Google.

Ironically old shit has way more details than today's games. Half-Life wasn't assembly, but each creature had sensory-based AI. Cockroaches scramble in the light for example. Ultima Online had a virtual ecosystem before they realized video game players are virtual psychopaths that will literally murder everything for no reason.

what's the correct way to do it?
I'd just look for repeating consecutive characters, store the index and look from there until string[i - k]!=string[i+k+1] but I dunno, sounds naive as fuck.

prove you aren't an incel

>9. "Why is a tennis ball fuzzy?" -- Xerox, client manager
Functionally, to limit the speed the ball can travel at by increasing turbulence around it's surface. Aesthetically, that is what the customer expects as traditionally tennis balls have been a fuzzy texture.

You take a database of palyndromes, query for all that contain letters from given string sorted by length, then iterate over them and count up number of each character and see if your string has at least that many, return on first match. Probably possible to do using a single SQL query which would be the true right answer.

Well when I took the interview the interviewer didn't raise to me if I got it wrong or right. But I didn't get a follow up interview after. I used a hashmap.

It’s so use a table or hash table. I post code in a minute.

The set of all palindromes is enormous.
You can’t put them all in a database.

Alpha as fuck

I wouldn't say enormous but its unreasonable to even seek out all possible palindromes in the ether

Entire english is something like 200k words, palyndromes are tiny fraction of it. You can store all palyndromes in existence in all languages and that wouldn't amount to a million entries, that's chump change.

They mean all palindromes, e.g., strings that equal their reverse. Not limited to english words.

Oh OK. Then it's pretty simple:
1) count how many of each letters are there in the string
2) round down the count to the nearest multiple of 2, remember "remainders"
3) using half the characters from the rounded down list, construct first half of the word
4) put any "remainder" character in the middle
5) using remaining half of the characters from the rounded down list, construct the second half of the word in reverse order

" ".join(sentence.split(" ")[::-1])

user's paraphrasing

>implying the interviewers are even thinking about that

Anyway if what it actually meant is "longest you can find inside of it" then the search is as follows:
1) iterate front to back one letter at a time
2) in each iteration, iterate back to front one letter at a time
3) when match is found, run carets toward each other while checking for letter equality, break if characters aren't equal
4) if carets meet or there's exactly 1 character between them, record current palindrome if it's bigger than already recorded one
They specifically asked to optimize for size and space and you did neither, so it's fair to say that they care about things like that and that you didn't pass.

Not fast enouhg.
