- VisaMediumSoftware EngineerShortest Prefix of a Digit String That Can Build Every Permutation of a Target
Given a digit string and a list of digit targets, return for each target the length of the shortest prefix whose characters could build every permutation of that target, or -1 if no prefix can. It tests character frequency counting, precomputation over a string, and answering many queries efficiently.
Coding & AlgorithmsOnline Assessment - VisaMediumSoftware EngineerSolve Three Array Coding Problems
This multi-part question evaluates algorithmic problem-solving skills in array manipulation, optimization (maximizing capped contributions), modular combinatorics (counting divisible-sum triplets), and sequence selection/dynamic decision-making for longest selectable non-decreasing subarrays.

A coding problem that asks for the largest total obtainable from a row of non-negative values when no two chosen positions may be adjacent. It tests reasoning about take-or-skip choices, edge cases such as empty and single-element rows, and a solution fast enough for rows of up to 100,000 values.
