There used to be a Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between US and USSR. Then Donald Rumsfeld pushed for a withdrawal from the treaty, and the US did so in 2002. Then China had an anti satellite test in 2007. Basically what I am saying is that

Rolex manufactures and sells about a million watches a year. Omega sells about half a millions. I am guessing the strategy is to add a couple of zero to the sales. If you are targeting to sell 50 millions moonswatches, the premium watch sal

My point is: are you sure the candidates failed because of their programming ability (unable to use substring), or was they confused due to the question itself? It is very easy to get to the situation in a interview where the candidate is j
