Code review & understanding interview questions
Python interview questions I can use in interviews
Cracking the code interview code review
It doesn’t work. Just converting to a set destroys information you need. For example consider “aba”, “a”. You’re halfway on the rails but you didn’t pick quite the right data structure.
You can use a - b rather than a.difference(b). Maybe you don’t have to, either, just making sure you know.
People will advise not to use string as a name since Python has a builtin module named string. I personally would use s, t (for string and next string, a la i,j,k,… for index and next indexes) but there are those who don’t like the mathy variable names too so it’s a judgment call. Regardless, I don’t like string_edited as a name. The string isn’t an edited string. It’s a candidate edited string.
For those of you who got hired to work with Python, what coding challenges did they have have you do during the interviewing process?
Do you have remote work experience as a software developer?
As a remote developer, how do you give priority to your work?
What skills have made remote-working successful for you?

This is a sample from a real application I started on a few years ago, the sample above is from the earliest skeleton version of the application, and is (only) the SQL data model and some utility functions.
Others were asking about Coding interviews and this is our version of it.
So, take your time, read it through, explain it and see if you can tell me:
-
What does the webapp do?
-
How do the views look?
-
Why does this code exist?
Recently my workplace has started hiring python developers and since I'm one of the python guy I am asked to take python interviews starting today.
Now in my 4-5 years of learning and working with python I have accumulated a lot python challenges in my head as I'd constantly trying to come up questions that an interviewer might ask me.
Yesterday I made some samples questions and share with my senior who found the questions little too deep for a 3 YOE Python full stack developer role.
Please give me few questions to get some idea that I can use or be inspired from to make new set of questions.
Also is this question really too much for such interview: Given a file containing very large string (around a gb), devise an optimal solution to get the first non repeating Character.
