Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me how I will simulate the process of shuffling of a deck of cards using coding.
Three HackerRank questions of fairly easy difficulty, only made hard by seemingly arbitrary edge case handling imposed by the prompts. Need to pay attention to these or you will fail a surprisingly large amount of test cases.
