This repo contains my solutions to the Foobar Challenge, Google's secret way of hiring developers.
Back in 2023, a popup appeared when I was searching something on Google.
You're speaking our language. Up for a challenge? [I want to play] [No Thanks] [Don't show me this again]
Selecting the obvious option brought me to the Foobar challenge, which was presented in the form of a Linux console. The challenges appeared in 5 levels, following a storyline which can be read here.
Solutions could be submitted in 2 languages:
- Java
- Python
Your code will be compiled using standard Java 8. All tests will be run by calling the solution() method inside the Solution class
Execution time is limited.
Wildcard imports and some specific classes are restricted (e.g. java.lang.ClassLoader). You will receive an error when you verify your solution if you have used a restricted class.
Third-party libraries, input/output operations, spawning threads or processes and changes to the execution environment are not allowed.
Your solution must be under 32000 characters in length including new lines and other non-printing characters.
Your code will run inside a Python 2.7.13 sandbox. All tests will be run by calling the solution() function.
Standard libraries are supported except for bz2, crypt, fcntl, mmap, pwd, pyexpat, select, signal, termios, thread, time, unicodedata, zipimport, zlib.
Input/output operations are not allowed.
Your solution must be under 32000 characters in length including new lines and other non-printing characters.
