Questions ​

Questions from the written exam took place on 12 September 2025

Given a string of lowercase letters, you have to find the longest mirror substring from it. The string radar or racecar is not mirror but bid or dib is. For simplicity lets say b=d,i=i,o=o,w=w,v=v,x=x,p=q in the mirrored substring.

There is an array of numbers n. You have to merge any two neighboring elements to make the length of the array n-1 in such way that, the minimum of the maximum of each consecutive pair gets removed. If the array is { 2, 5, 3, 7, 9 }, the result can be { 7, 3, 7, 9 } or { 2, 8, 7, 9 }

push(33)
get(1) # returns 33
push(22)
get(2) # returns 22
