Second question was not really a question but a very healthy session of pair programming where I was speaking and a senior developer was coding. He chose JAVA and we were creating a list data-structure (with add, count, delete) operations. The catch was that we were going to do it TDD style. So I guided him on what kind of test we can write and how to pass that test and so on. We kept doing it and in 45 minutes we had a very well tested working list data structure.

An enumerator is a class with getNextObject method. It encapsulates the container. Write an enumerator. Next, write a new enumerator called chained-enumerator which is initialized by two other enumerators. Finally, how would you make it work with N enumerators. I had to write the logic for getNextObject for the most part (and any other internal state I wanted to manage).
