This set of problems evaluates skills in data aggregation and ordering (identifying top averages), computational geometry and extrema calculation (axis-aligned bounding rectangle), and grid constraint validation and consistency checking (partially filled 9x9 number board).
The online assessment reportedly had five coding questions, but only the following three were described clearly enough to reconstruct:
[(x1, y1), (x2, y2), ..., (xn, yn)]
. Return four values:
x
value,
y
value,
max_x - min_x
,
max_y - min_y
.
'1'
through
'9'
or
'.'
for empty. Determine whether the current board state is valid under these rules:
The other two OA questions were not described clearly enough to reconstruct.
