2. How to handle pressure situations in interview
3. Time complexity
4. Solving some medium and hard level problems

Rules: Solve the problem without methods.

Please donot use methods. You need to do it with loops.

Make sure you try each problem in 2-3 different ways and also try to
understand time complexity( time taken to execute) as well.

b. Return true if one of them is 10 or if their sum is 10.
8. Create a function that takes two strings as arguments and returns either true or
false depending on whether the total number of characters in the first string is
equal to the total number of characters in the second string.
9. Create a function that takes a name and returns a greeting in the form of a string.
Don't use a normal function, use an arrow function.
10. Create a function that takes an array of 10 numbers (between 0 and 9) and
returns a string of those numbers formatted as a phone number (e.g. (555) 555-
5555).
11. Create a function that returns an array of strings sorted by length in ascending
order.

 13. Find sum of the Unique numbers:
Example : Let arr = [1, 2, 2, 1, 3, 5, 1];
The unique numbers are 1,2, 3, 5 so the sum should be 11.

Difficulty Level : Hard

1. Create a function that converts dash/underscore delimited words into camel

casing. The first word within the output should be capitalized only if the original
word was capitalized.

Examples :

toCamelCase("A-B-C") "ABC"

toCamelCase("the-stealth-warrior") "theStealthWarrior"

toCamelCase("The_Stealth_Warrior") "TheStealthWarrior"

2. Create a function that takes an array of strings and returns an array with only the
strings that have numbers in them. If there are no strings containing numbers,
return an empty array.

Examples :

numInStr(["1a", "a", "2b", "b"]) ["1a", "2b"]

numInStr(["abc", "abc10"]) ["abc10"]

numInStr(["abc", "ab10c", "a10bc", "bcd"]) ["ab10c", "a10bc"]

numInStr(["this is a test", "test1"]) ["test1"]

3. Write a function that takes a list of hours and returns the total weekly salary.
● The input list hours is listed sequentially, ordered from Monday to Sunday.
● A worker earns $10 an hour for the first 8 hours.
● For every overtime hour, he earns $15.
 ● On weekends, the employer pays double the usual rate, regardless how
many hours were worked previously that week. For instance, 10 hours
worked on a weekday would pay 80+30 = $110, but on a weekend it
would pay 160+60 = $220.

Examples :

weeklySalary([8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 0, 0]) 400

weeklySalary([10, 10, 10, 0, 8, 0, 0]) 410

weeklySalary([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 0]) 280

4. Create a function which takes in an encoded string and returns an object

according to the following example:

firstName: "John",

lastName: "Doe",

id: "123"

parseCode("michael0smith004331") {

firstName: "michael",

lastName: "smith",

id: "4331"

parseCode("Thomas00LEE0000043") {

firstName: "Thomas",

lastName: "LEE",
 id: "43"

5. Create a function that takes the current day (e.g. "2022-09-30"), an array of date
objects and returns the "current streak" (i.e. number of consecutive days in a
row).

Examples :

currentStreak("2022-09-23", [

{"date": "2022-09-18"},

{"date": "2022-09-19"},

{"date": "2022-09-21"},

{"date": "2022-09-16"},

{"date": "2022-09-17"},

{"date": "2022-09-21"},

{"date": "2022-09-22"},

{"date": "2022-09-23"}]) 0

you need to find out) :-

Input string=“6 E @ f w 3 x y g N 1 o p Q A b c h i j # K l d m R T
U V Z”

Output = ‘’S is missing from the String”

Note:- (
 Time Complexity:- O(n) means only 1 loop you can use.
without using any predefined function.
)

7. Given a string s, return the longest

Palindromic Substring

Input: nums = [100,4,200,1,3,2]

Output: 4

Explanation: The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Therefore its
length is 4.

Input: nums = [0,3,7,2,5,8,4,6,0,1]

Output: 9

9. Take an array of strings and create a dropdown using array values the values of
dropdown should be taken dynamically and if we select a value in dropdown and the
length of dropdown value is even it should show 1 in console or else if it is odd it should
0.
