1. You have n doors in a row that are all initially closed. You make n passes by the doors starting with the first door every time. The first time through you visit every door and toggle the door (if the door is closed, you open it, if its open, you close it). the second time you only visit every 2nd door (door #2, #4, #6. third pass you toggle 3rd, 6th, 9th door. What state are the doors in after the last pass? which doors are open ?

Debugging + System design: We wrote a simple (single-threaded) web crawler. Given a starting URL, it visits every reachable page. For each page, it determines the URLs of every static asset (images, javascript, stylesheets) on that page. The crawler returns a list with an entry for each crawled page and a listing of URLs for the assets found in that page.
Given a list of integers A and an integer k, return the number of unique pairs of integers in A that sum to k. For example, if A=[1 2 5 5 10 8 2] and k=10, the answer is 2, arrived as 5+5 or 2+8. There were 15 tests for this question, with at least the last two timing out, given that the implementation was not as efficient as possible.
Give an algorithm to find the kth largest element in an unsorted vector of integers.
Asked to write a method were it's passed an array of numbers and a single number. I needed to return true if there was two numbers in the array that if added totaled the single number. I was then asked to rewrite it to make it run faster.
One bridge, 4 people. A, B, C, D. A takes 2 mins to cross the bridge, B 4 mins, C 8 mins, D 16mins. It is dark and 1 torch. So, 2 people need to cross the bridge at the same time, so that one person can bring back the torch for the next group to cross the bridge. The 2 pepole group walks at the pace of the slower walker. How to cross the bridge in the fasted way?
# a list of strings. Each string is a management / report relationship. # # EXAMPLE INPUT: # # [ # 'B,E,F', # 'A,B,C,D', # 'D,G,I', # 'G,H' # ] So, write some code (pseudo or language of your choice, including SQL) for the following: A is the manager of B, C, D. B is the manager of E and F, and so forth. # EXAMPLE OUTPUT: # # A # ....B # ........E # ........F # ....C # ....D # ........G # ............H # ........I
