Developer/Coding Interview Challenge #2
I am a Software/Web Developer from Durban, South Africa. I have been interested in web development for many as I saw that as a growing technology that will never end. My interests expanded to Game development when I learned that I can make games with HTML5 Canvas. I love coding games more than drag and drop features. I can't remember what got me interested in making games.
I love teaching others programming, web skills and more about making games, that is game development and game design.
I am now teamed up with a woman in Nigeria, actually from Benin, to start our own gaming studio and make games for change. Our first in our games production will be a series of games teaching players about climate change and how we can help improve the circumstances we find ourselves in.
Here we are again on Day 2 of our Interview coding challenge. As I'd expect you to be following our first post of this challenge, we continue with more. In today's coding challenge, we'll still keep it at four but will throw in some web development skills in the mix.
Before I move on, I'd like more people to participate in this, and more people to comment and perhaps get a conversation going, so please feel free to share each coding challenge with your friends, on your social media.
Unto it, we shall go 🏄♀️🏄♀️🏄♀️!
QUESTION 1
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
a) What is the SDLC?
b) List the phases that divide the SDLC?
c) List the different SDLC Models?
d) TO THE MORE EXPERIENCED: What is your preferred SDLC Model? And why?
QUESTION 2:
As a web designer:
a) How do you set an image as the background of a web page?
b) Which color would you choose as a web designer when declaring a "delete" button?
QUESTION 3:
What is the difference between a framework and a library? Then, list one of each.
QUESTION 4: Coding Challenge
One of the easiest coding problems you would most generally come across is the reversing of a string.
A) SIMPLE: Given a string, write a function/method to reverse the string.
SAMPLE TEST CASES FOR SIMPLE:
enigmatic
anonymous unlimited
strong is the force within you
B) NOT-SO-SIMPLE: Given a string S of size N, return the string after reversing the string word by word.
NOTE:
i) A sequence of non-space characters constitutes a word.
ii) Your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces, even if it is present in the input string.
iii) If there are multiple spaces between words, reduce them to a single space in the reversed string.
SAMPLE TEST CASES FOR NOT-SO-SIMPLE:
The brown fox sprung into the high mountains.
The big blue whale struggled to remove itself from the humans' net.
Well, that's it for today, again to remind you:
You can surely find the answers to the coding questions anywhere on the internet, but then what's the point of struggling it out yourself?
