Emurgo R&D : Software Engineer Test Tasks (v3.
7)
The followin tasks are more or less ordered by complexity, but for different people different tasks might appear easier than others. You can solve
them in any order and if you feel like a certain task is out of scope of your professional specialisation - just leave a comment about it.
Solutions are preferred in JS (Flow is a bonus) or TS languages, alternatively you can send it in any language, but it will then be reviewed in
accordance to the specifics of the position you are applying for.
1. Permutations
Input: a string of unknown length that can contain only three characters: 0, 1, or *. For example: "101*011*1”
Output: an array of strings where each string is a permutation of the input string with the * character replaced by a 0 or a 1. For example: for
input "*1" the result array is ["01", "11"]
Tasks: Implement the function/program that will give correct output for all possible inputs within given restrictions. Write a documenting comment
explaining the algorithmic complexity of the program.
2. Data-model
Intro: we are creating a software system for a pizza restaurant, one of the modules is supposed to handle the management of various pizza
recipes and how the orders are put together, and a big part of the module will be the control of food types, the potential allergens in recipes, and
calories counting.
Requirements: you are commissioned to write a data-model API (classes, interfaces, etc) which will then be used by the entire module to
exchange the data about the recipes, ingredients, and all that. And also couple helper function that demonstrate the usage of your data-model.
Tasks: Create a data-model to represent pizza ingredients and pizza recipes, including the food types and allergens. Create a function hasAlle
rgens where we can pass a certain pizza recipe and an array of allergens and receive true if the recipe contains any of the allergens. Create a
function hasFoodTypes where we can pass a certain pizza recipe and an array of food types and receive true if this recipe contains any of the
food types. Create functions removeAllergens and removeFoodTypes with similar parameters but they should return the same pizza recipe
but with the allergens and food types removed. Create function removeIngredients where we can pass a certain pizza recipe and an array of
ingredients and receive the pizza recipe without the specified ingredients. Create function doubleIngredients with the same parameters but it
returns the recipe with the specified ingredients in double amount. Create function getCalories where we can pass a certain pizza recipe and
it will return the number of total calories in that recipe.
Example of usage for the functions:
1. hasFoodTypes when user checks they want to only see pizza with mushrooms
2. hasAllergens when user wants to highlight any pizzas that might contain soy in it
3. removeIngredients when user checks they don’t want Jalapeño pepper
4. doubleIngredients when user checks they want double cheese
5. removeFoodTypes when user wants to check what the selected pizza will look like with no meat
6. getCalories when user wants to check what the number will be for the resulting recipe
3. Building a transaction
Intro: we are creating a software solution for a bank and you are being commissioned to build one function out of the entire system, but this
function will construct an internal transaction object, which moves the funds when some accounts are getting closed.
Requirements: from times to times the bank will want to run a big internal operation which closes multiple reserve accounts and moves all the
funds into multiple recipient accounts according to the corresponding credit, and the task of the function is to detail how exactly the funds will
move between the accounts and also calculate the cost of the operation itself.
Tasks: implement function newRebalancingTx(closingAccounts, recipientAccounts). Where closingAccounts is an array of

objects like { accountId: string, amount: number }, recipientAccounts is an array of objects like { accountId: string,
credit: number }. And the function is supposed to return an object of this format:
{
transfers: [
[fromAccountId, toAccountId, value],
],
operationalFee: number,
}
1. The transfers array must contain a listing of how the money must be moved from all closed accounts into all new accounts. For
example, if we have one closing account with ID acc1 and amount 1000 and two receipients with IDs rec1 and rec2 and credit values
500 and 400 - the first two elements in the transfers array will be: [acc1, rec1, 500], [acc1, rec2, 400].
2. A transfer cannot have a zero or negative value, such transaction will not be accepted and will cause an error.
3. If there are more money on a closed account than required for one receipient - then the remainder should go into the next receipient
account.
4. If there are not enough money in total in all closed accounts to fulfill total credit in recipients - an error must be raised: “not enough
funds for rebalance“.
5. If there is more money available in closed accounts than total recipients credit - the remainder should be transferred from each account
with a remainder to a new reserve which is added to transfers with account ID null. For example, if closed acc1 and acc2 with
amounts 500 and 500 and one recipient rec1 with credit 400 - then transfers would be [[acc1, rec1, 400], [acc1, null,
100], [acc2, null, 500]].
Here’s the catch, though, for any rebalancing transaction a special operational-fee must be included, which depends on the number of transfers
and is calculated as transfers.length * 10. This amount must be subtracted from the remainder transferred into reserve. For example, if
closed acc1 and acc2 with amounts 500 and 500 and one recipient rec1 with credit 400 - then the full correct response will be:
{
transfers: [[acc1, rec1, 400], [acc1, null, 100], [acc2, null, 470]],
operationalFee: 30,
}
So the end goal of the produced tx is to make sure every single bit of money on the input matches exactly to all the outputs plus the operational
fee.
If total value of closed accounts is not enough to fulfill the total recipient credit AND the operational fee - an error must be raised: “not enough
funds for rebalance“.
