Question 1
Write a program to reverse a given string and calculate the sum of all digits present in the reversed string
Went through several interviews without real interest from the company side. Did take-home code challenge and wasnt even read (explicitly said by interviewer).
A waste of time, next time I will ask to do more interviews before or not do the code challenge and waste 4 hours to not even receive feedback on the solution
