Question was "Given a pattern and a string input - find if the string follows the same pattern and return 0 or 1. Examples: 1) Pattern : "abba", input: "redblueredblue" should return 1. 2) Pattern: "aaaa", input: "asdasdasdasd" should return 1. 3) Pattern: "aabb", input: "xyzabcxzyabc" should return 0.

Given an input string S write a function which returns true if it satisfies S = nT. Basically you have to find if a given string can be represented from a substring by iterating it “n” times. n >= 2 An example would suffice – Function should return true if 1) S = “abab” 2) S = “abcdabcd” 3) S = “abcabcabc” 4) S = “zzxzzxzzx” Function should return false if 1) S = “abac” 2) S = “abcdabbd” 3) S = “abcabcefg” 4) S = “zzxzzyzzx” It would be easy to understand if you can give an algo instead of saying use kmp or suffix tree or… I came up with O(n*n) solution. Wondered how to do in O(n)

In front of you are three light switches. Only one does anything, and it turns on the light downstairs. From here you can't see the light, and it makes no sound. You must determine which switch operates the light, BUT you can only go check it once. How do you figure out which switch is for the light?

Given an input array and another array that describes a new index for each element, mutate the input array so that each element ends up in their new index. Discuss the runtime of the algorithm and how you can be sure there won't be any infinite loops.

Given input: // could be potentially more than 3 keys in the object above items = [ {color: 'red', type: 'tv', age: 18}, {color: 'silver', type: 'phone', age: 20} ... ] excludes = [ {k: 'color', v: 'silver'}, {k: 'type', v: 'tv'}, .... ] function excludeItems(items, excludes) { excludes.forEach(pair => { items = items.filter(item => item[pair.k] === item[pair.v]); }); return items; } 1. Describe what this function is doing... 2. What is wrong with that function ? 3. How would you optimize it ?
