Alex’s uncle is a magician who gave them a magic bag in which coins get doubled each time you put those coins into it. Initially, Alex had few coins with them. So, Alex put all the coins, and the coins got doubled. Alex took out all the coins and gave a few to their friend and then again put the remaining coins back in the bag. The coins doubled again; Alex took out all the coins again and gave a few coins to their second friend. Alex then put the remaining coins in the bag and the coins doubled again. Alex took out all the coins and gave a few coins to their third friend.

Review the following React code:

Pick the correct statements:
            
            A: The code renders 10 INDIAN RUPEE
            B: The code renders 10 SINGAPORE DOLLAR
            C: The code does not render anything and throws an error since JavaScript objects are not valid as React children
            D: When the currency portion is clicked, the parent component is re-rendered
            E: When the currency portion is clicked, parent component will skip the re-render because shouldComponentUpdate returns false
            F: Parent component can be converted to a functional component with memoization (useMemo or memo) to avoid the re-render

Slapchat deployed a new data processing application to the market. The backend part of the application does two specific segments:
            
            - For every new data file submitted by the user, proprietary data cleanup logic is done
            - Once data cleanup is complete, proprietary data transformations are done

After launching the application for few months, the metrics indicated that the clean up stage of the application is pretty quick while transformation stage takes longer time to complete. In the next phase, the application is being re-written as 2 microservices (’cleanup’ and ‘transformation’). The deployment strategy is to run both on ECS and scale independently. How should the services be integrated?

A: ‘cleanup’ publishes data to SNS topic, ‘transformation’ subscribes to the SNS topic
            
            B: ‘cleanup’ sends data to S3 bucket, ‘transformation’ is invoked by S3 event notifications
            
            C: ‘cleanup’ sends data to SQS queue, ‘transformation’ processes messages from the queue
            
            D: ‘cleanup’ sends data to Kinesis Data Firehose, ‘transformation’ reads from the Kinesis Data Firehose

A startup company E-Motors is building driverless automated cars. The car contains a sensor that checks the road quality for the next N meters to decide the optimal speed at which the cars should move. We are given recorded data by the sensor in the form of an array, where each element of the array is the rating given to 1 meter of the road in sequence. 
            
            The rating given by the sensor is from 1 to 100, where 100 represents the road with the best condition, and any rating above 60 is optimal. Find the longest stretch of road in meters that is categorized as optimal by the sensor.
            
            The input is an array of "strings" which needs to be converted from string to integer/number inside the function.
