Learning from TransferWise Coding Contest #2
Initially, I thought that the contest is related to drone. I found out on the spot that they are using HackerRank. TransferWise offers services to send money in converted currency to another account. This is a smart way for them to organize the event and achieve multiple purposes, eg. advertising their services, recruitment, train the staff for organizing the events.
The 2 questions are not hard. However, due to lack of practice, I am unable to resolve any questions in 1.5 hours. I am only resolved on the next day by spending additional 1.5 hours. However, there are guys who resolved 2 questions in about 30 minutes. This prompts me that I need to practice more if algorithm is the direction I want to focus.
Forget to mention, pizza, chicken wing, apple and fruit is offered. The pizza is quite good. This is a nice experience definitely. Unfortunately, due to lack of confidence, I did not talk to others much. I should think lesser and be more confident next time.
