Implement Multifit*

Accepted file types: pdf, doc, docx, txt, rtf

Purpose
The purpose of this task is to provide the interviewers with a code sample from the interviewee. The interviewers will evaluate the sample for code quality and correctness.

Prompt
The multifit algorithm is an approximation algorithm for multiway number partitioning:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifit_algorithm

Please implement multifit in TypeScript. We encourage you to refer to the pseudo code in the Wikipedia article on multifit. We will evaluate the correctness of your implementation by importing it into a program of our own design. You may decide how your implementation should be used.

Submission
For this exercise, your submission should be a single txt file containing your TypeScript implementation of the multifit algorithm. The file should also include tests for your algorithm using your test framework of choice. Please clearly list any software dependencies your solution/tests use.

Spot the Bug*

Accepted file types: pdf, doc, docx, txt, rtf

Purpose
The purpose of this task is to give the interviewers an impression of the interviewee’s debugging skills and communication skills.

Prompt
Consider the following TypeScript program:

import { concatMap, from } from 'rxjs';

from(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'])
.pipe(
      concatMap((s) => {
         const i = parseInt(s, 16);
         const d = i.toString();
         if (i % 2 === 0) {
            return `even: ${s} (${d})`;
         }
         return `odd: ${s} (${d})`;
      })
   )
   .subscribe((x) => console.log(x));

For each element of the given list of string representations of hexadecimal numbers, this program should output a single line showing:
- The parity (even/odd) of the number
- The number itself
- The base 10 equivalent of the number
That is, we expect the output to look like the following:

even: a (10)
odd: b (11)
even: c (12)
odd: d (13)
even: e (14)
odd: f (15

Questions
Please debug the program and answer the following questions.
1. How is the output of the original program different from the expected output?
2. Why is the output of the original program different from the expected output?
3. How would you change the program, so that the output matches the expected output?
4. Do you have any other suggestions to improve the program?

Submission
For this exercise, your submission must include your response to each of the questions above.

Implementing a List*

Accepted file types: pdf, doc, docx, txt, rtf

Purpose
The purpose of this task is to give the interviewers an impression of the interviewee’s
understanding of browser APIs, performance limitations, and CSS properties.

Prompt
Please implement a responsive, scrollable list of items without the use of a JavaScript
framework/library.

Appearance on a Mobile Browser
On mobile, this list should look like...

| Item Name |   | Item Name |

| Item Name |   | Item Name |

| Item Name |   | Item Name |

| Item Name |   | Item Name |

Appearance on a Desktop Browser
On desktop, this list should look like...

| Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  

| Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  

| Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  

| Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  | Item Name |  


Questions
1. How would the UX of this list suffer if JavaScript was disabled?
2. At about what number of items in the list would performance noticeably degrade?
3. How would you increase the performance of the list?

Submission
For this exercise, your submission must include a single txt file containing the HTML source for your scrollable list. Any CSS or Javascipt should be embedded in the HTML for ease of upload and review. The txt file should also include your responses to the questions above.
