    Asynchronous Task Sequencing
    Coroutines
    Exception Handling
    Lambda Functions
    Solve
    In Kotlin, you are tasked with creating a function executeTasksSequentially that runs a list of suspendable tasks sequentially within a coroutine context. Each task is a lambda function that can perform an asynchronous operation and potentially throw an exception. The function should handle these exceptions and continue executing the remaining tasks. However, a crucial line is missing in the function implementation, and you need to identify which line correctly completes it.
    
    Here's the incomplete function:
     image
    This function is particularly useful in scenarios where multiple asynchronous tasks need to be run in order, such as processing a sequence of network requests or database transactions.
    A: task.invoke()
    B: withContext(Dispatchers.IO) { task() }
    C: async { task() }.await()
    D: launch { task() }.join()
    E: task()
    F: delay(1000); task()

    Solve
    In Kotlin, you are asked to complete the implementation of a function searchNodeByName which recursively searches for a node by its name within a tree structure represented by instances of the data class Node(val name: String, val children: List<Node>). However, a crucial line is missing in the implementation, and your task is to identify which line correctly completes the function.
    
    Here's the incomplete function:
     image
    A: return searchNodeByName(it, nodeName)
    B: if (searchNodeByName(it, nodeName) != null) return searchNodeByName(it, nodeName)
    C: try { return searchNodeByName(it, nodeName) } catch (e
    D: if (it.name == nodeName) return it
    E: it.name == nodeName
    F: searchNodeByName(it, nodeName)

    Dependency Resolution
    Recursion
    Data classes
    Lambda expressions
    Solve
    In Kotlin, you are tasked with designing a system that manages software dependencies. Each software package is represented by a Package data class, which includes a name and a list of dependencies (other Package objects). The main function, resolveDependencies, should recursively gather all unique dependencies for a given package, including dependencies of dependencies, and return them in a set to avoid duplication.
    
    Here's the initial setup for the data classes and function:
     image
    Consider the following structure of packages with nested dependencies:
     image
    If println(resolveDependencies(packageE)) is called, what is the expected output?

    How do I interpret test scores?

    The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

    Does every candidate get the same questions?

    Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.

    What is the cost of using this test?
