It was also easy, I solved using DISTINCT and GROUP BY.

for(int i=0;i<100;i++) { if (i%15==0) { System.out.println("FizzBuzz"); }else if (i%3==0) { System.out.println("Fizz"); }else if (i%5==0) { System.out.println("Buzz"); }else { System.out.print(i); } }

I wrote it even I said I don't know. It was easy, however I spent most of the time to learn Angular and Typescript.

I solved it with O(n2), since Angular question took a lot of time and there wasn't enough time left to go back and refactor.

If all are equal then it is a square If pair is equal and the other pair is equal it is rectangle (you can check this by XOR the A, B, C and D if the result is 0 then it is rectangle) else none

For the case study questions you shold know the exact behavior of the system (smart card readers, messaging behaviors) because assumptions and therefore the inferences on theses assumptions may be incorrect (even if they are coherent) and they are not accepted. So you should either really increase your domain knowledge beforehand if you do not have, or it is a chance for you if you are already working on these areas. I was working more on radars and related systems so this was a huge disadvantage for me. As for the programming questions, take great care of the completeness, This is what is asked, I mean do not think just related code lines would work. No it won't. For each subquestion, think of it as the whole application program and code every bit of it. (The related variables, initiations etc.) And think of algorithm optimizations because this is also asked. Finaly that d bag I mentioned, may come up with general opinions about your whole qualifications based on the some incorrect parts of the answers or assumptions you provided, which I think is so unfair, in this case do not bother him. :)

I will say the last thing first; if you are applying to this specific position, think twice. Especially if you will be moving abroad after the interview process. Because the impression I got after interviewing the second pahase is so negative in terms of attitude of the responsible person (I will not say name but if you meet him you will understand who I am talking about) and the friendliness of the environment that you will be working eventually. I was disqualified fairly, I mean in technical terms nothing was wrong, but after the process I was thankful of the result because I cannot imagine how unhappy I would be by working in the team of that unfriendly and impolite d bag (you know what i mean, if you don't just google d bag). But I have to say my comments concern only that particular person, not the company as a whole and other teams in that company. I will mention about how the answers should be in the next part, for those who still want to work in this position after these comments.
