Question 1
An OA with an industry style problem that gets progressively harder each time
Coding screen in 4 parts. First 2 parts were easy enough. Progressively more difficult and you can't advance to next stage until all test cases pass. Unfortunately didn't make it to the final stage due to a single test case. Score was higher than they said was required but I didn't progress.
