Kind of speechless — I ran into new questions on both the integration round and the debug round, and I also got to try out the newest AI coding format. This was for the Java track.
AI coding: In HackerRank, there's an AI chat box where you write prompts based on the requirements to get the code solved. If you try to write it by hand yourself, there's about an 80% chance you won't finish in time — you mainly have to rely on the AI.
Debug: SnakeYAML. Bug 1:
flag: on
couldn't be parsed. Bug 2, the CSV parsing result was missing quotation marks.
Integration: review-assignment. Write code using JGit to compare two branches of a git repo. After getting the list of changed file names, based on a CSV file that gives the file owners, return the owner who owns the most changed files. In short, it's similar to automatically finding a reviewer after a PR goes out.
JGit's official website was down, and there was no official get-started documentation. I had a small setup mistake in my JGit that meant part 1 never produced any output. My code itself was actually correct — it was just a small setup mistake. Too bad, otherwise both parts would have passed.
For my own safety, I'll post the repo after a month.
