Screen candidates with the highest quality questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

How we design questions

These are just a small sample from our library of 15,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Kotlin Online Test will be non-googleable.

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()

Medium

Completing Recursive Search
Recursion
Data classes
Control Flow
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)

Medium

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?

Registration Queue
Logic
Queues
Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount.
For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array.
- The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.

For the example discussed above, the input will be:
5
20 70 -40 30 -10

Your code needs to print the following to the standard output:
20 70 30 -40 -10

Medium

Visitors Count
Strings
Logic
Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. 
Example:

Input:
WWMMWWCCC

Expected Output: 
4W3C2M

Explanation: 
‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. 
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The input is already parsed and passed to a function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.
- If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’.
- If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.

Test candidates on core Kotlin Hiring Test topics

Kotlin basics: Kotlin basics covers the foundational concepts of the Kotlin programming language, including variables, strings, and functions. Understanding these basics is crucial as they form the building blocks for any Kotlin application.

Kotlin collections: Kotlin collections enable the organization and manipulation of data. This skill covers various types of collections such as lists, sets, maps, and iterators, which are essential for efficient data handling in Kotlin applications.

Object-Oriented Programming: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm used to model real-world entities through classes and objects. This skill focuses on concepts like classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, which play a key role in designing modular and maintainable Kotlin code.

Reading and Writing Files: Reading and writing files is a fundamental skill for accessing and manipulating data stored in files. By understanding this skill, developers can efficiently interact with external resources and handle operations such as reading from and writing to files in Kotlin.

Standard functions: Standard functions in Kotlin, such as apply, let, with, and run, provide concise syntax to perform common operations. Mastery of these functions enhances code readability, reusability, and overall code quality in Kotlin.

Extension functions: Extension functions allow developers to extend existing classes with additional functionalities. This skill enables developers to write concise and reusable code by defining extension functions that enhance the capabilities of existing Kotlin classes.

Working with APIs: Working with APIs involves integrating external services and retrieving data from various sources using network requests in Kotlin. This skill is essential for developing applications that interact with web services, databases, and other external resources.

Adding dependencies: Adding dependencies in Kotlin allows developers to leverage existing libraries and frameworks to enhance their applications. Understanding how to add and manage dependencies is crucial for efficiently utilizing third-party code and minimizing development time.

Asynchronous Programming: Asynchronous programming using coroutines enables developers to write non-blocking and efficient code that can handle concurrency and parallelism effectively. This skill is particularly important in modern application development, as it allows for smooth execution of time-consuming tasks without blocking the main thread.

Can I test Kotlin and JavaScript together in a test?

Yes, you can. It is recommended to assess candidates on both languages if required. Check out our JavaScript Online Test for details about assessing JavaScript skills.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

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.
