Interview questions [1]
Question 1
compare the given strings and join them in alphabetic order.
Got a test task from HackerRank. Didn't complete the task completely and didn't move on. The questions were logical, without unnecessary complexity. Overall, the process was clear, and the tasks were aimed at testing practical programming skills. The main focus was on code quality and optimization of solutions.
