ProgrammingRe: Solve This Amazon Interview Question by CodingSoft:
namikaze:
This problem was asked by Amazon.

Given a pivot x, and a list lst, partition the list into three parts.
* The first part contains all elements in lst that are less than x
* The second part contains all elements in lst that are equal to x
* The third part contains all elements in lst that are larger than x
Ordering within a part can be arbitrary.
For example, given x = 10 and lst = [9, 12, 3, 5, 14, 10, 10],
one partition may
be [9, 3, 5, 10, 10, 12, 14].

Can you solve it in strictly O(n) time and O(1) space complexity?
I'd like to see what you come up with.
I cannot find any use of this coding test on Amazon shopping site. Their site only has these types of sorting: Price: Low to high, Price High to low, Avg. Customer review and Newest arrivals. None of these requires this type of coding test. All that is needed for these are to use the sorting provided by the programming language to achieve these basic kinds of sorting.

This kind of coding test is only useful when it comes to games programming as you'll have to store data in arrays and manually check and retrieve them using the quickest logic possible.

It is not possible to accomplish this coding test in O(1) as you cannot accomplish this task without a nested loop.

O(1) describes an algorithm that will always execute in the same time (or space) regardless of the size of the input data set.

Most people here are saying books are better than videos because they don't have data or free WiFi access to download large sized videos.
True. Reading a book today with the amount of resources on youtube now, is like riding a bike from Nigeria to Europe instead of travelling by air.

Like you said before books are only good on the introduction page.

Even books are no use for referencing today when you have stackoverflow and online documentation of the language you are learning.

You only need to quote from a book if you are at uni as it's a requirement.

Mr. A travels to UK for his studies.... he's got a massive tuition fee to cover and other living expenses, he gets a student job, but according to the law, he is only allowed to work for 20 hours a week.... That money isn't enough to take care of his bills or even tuition fee, he gets a student loan and this goes on and on, till he graduates and hopefully finds a job to pay off the student loan....

They tried this in the USA though they had an engineering exam for software engineers but cancelled it after only like 100 people wrote it. With IT it's gonna be difficult to regulate cause of the amount of depth and breadth there is. Theres just too many fields and technologies.
The exam was not well structured, that's why it did not work. The software engineering exam was designed only for those who have a mechanical engineering degree or a physics degree. What they did not take into account is that not every software engineer will be writing code for an airplane autopilot or for a rocket for NASA. They should have designed the exam for different sectors and within each sector like aeronautics and space exploration they should have broken it down into different specialisations like in medicine.

not really, not every web app needs to be built with a firework or library, if the app is simple enough you can implement your design using vanilla JavaScript.
You are right. Using a JavaScript framework for a simple application is like using a heavy goods trailer when all you need is a car to move about.

ProgrammingDoes Every New Application Have To Be Angular, React Or Vue Front-end? by CodingSoft(op):
Does web development make any sense at all? Is there something I’m missing that I should know regarding front end development, or is it really just this bad? https://www.quora.com/Does-web-development-make-any-sense-at-all-Is-there-something-I%E2%80%99m-missing-that-I-should-know-regarding-front-end-development-or-is-it-really-just-this-bad

No, it doesn’t make a lick of sense anymore.

I’ve stopped calling myself a developer. I build websites. I can’t honestly say I develop them anymore.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with HTML/CSS/JS. I’m highly experienced in all three and they make perfect sense to me. I know exactly how to build a website. But I no longer have any idea how to develop one.

I’ve reached the point of expertise where I do not need to look up how to do something in HTML or CSS (except for maybe cutting edge properties like CSS grids). That doesn’t mean I can stop learning - it just means I learn the new things and get to work.

But with today’s web, I need to spend enormous amounts of time to figure out how to set up a project, figure out which bundlers, frameworks, component libraries, dependency injectors etc. to use just to help a development team fix their typography issues.

Maybe I’m the one who’s missing something. The level of complexity and expense in time and money needed to do simple things is astounding. I understand complex apps need these things, but not every site needs to be a complex app. And not every tiny quirk CSS might have needs to be solved with more and more complex libraries and frameworks.

I understand if you’re scaling microservices for some mission critical app. But what it takes just to do a simple UI on a form button using whatever today’s popular buzzword technology stack might be, no longer makes any sense to me.

A member's comment:
Exactly. And when another build tool or bundler is created, promising to fix this exact problem, it adds hours to development, in the form of discussing which one we should use now. And it adds miles to the learning roadmaps for new developers. And for experienced devs – it adds things inside a blackbox of npm scripts and tooling where they don’t understand everything that’s going on when it works, and less when it doesn’t.

I would recommend this too as DisGuy has suggested.

best bet is to book tickets directly from the airline, the other apps/websites will strip all the essentials out- might be 1 luggage or crazy stop over.
Book well in advance- prices are generally high now- covid recovery, russia-ukr, inflation

No problem bro. Passion is more important in selecting a career and one that involves programming is great. If you plan to study in a developed country check that the university is in the top ten in that country. This way you will be able to do a year in industry during your studies and this will help you to secure a job in aerospace engineering or in other industries where aerospace engineering skills are required if they would offer sponsorship if you are not a national of the country.
All the best.

Please is it true that you can't be granted visa on a passport that will be expiring in less than 6 months?

Ideally, your passport should still have at least 6 months validity when you return to the UK.
