For the technical test, i remember one task, so.. You have an array of strings which describes rectangles as (A, B, C, D) values A ___________ | | | | D | |B | | | | ------------------ C Implement method to recognize 3 kind of figures: - squares (each side equals to others, A = B = C = D) - rectangles (each side equals to the opposite A = C, B = D) - and other figures (A != B != C != D) So the output must the 3 numbers of figures counters separated with space symbol. Input data: { "36 30 36 30", "15 15 15 15", "46 96 90 100", "86 86 86 86", "100 200 100 200", "-100 200 -100 200" } Output data: 2 2 2 Maybe that was a little joke which spreads a bit of my time, but the main thing I founded with the output data - the answer is incorrect, because if we look at input data and simply count figures, we will have 2 squares, 3 rectangles and 1 other figure. However, I made correct implementation, which had output if "2 3 1". HackerRank platform didn't recognize my answer as correct. Second task I made correct and HackerRank recognize it as fully completed, and the third one I made mostly complete.
