Easy

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 Java & Spring Hiring Test topics

Java syntax and basics: Java syntax and basics refers to the fundamental rules and principles of writing Java code. It includes knowledge of variables, data types, operators, control structures, and basic syntax rules. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's understanding of the foundations of the Java programming language, which is crucial for writing reliable and efficient code.

Java OOPs: Java OOPs (Object-Oriented Programming) focuses on the concepts and principles of object-oriented programming in Java. It covers topics such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. Evaluating this skill helps determine the candidate's ability to design and implement robust and modular Java applications.

Working with Databases in Java: Working with Databases in Java involves understanding how to connect, query, and manipulate databases using Java programming. It includes knowledge of SQL, JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), and database design principles. This skill is assessed to gauge the candidate's proficiency in handling data persistence and interactions with databases within Java applications.

Java data structures: Java data structures refers to the various built-in data structures provided by the Java programming language, such as arrays, lists, queues, stacks, and maps. It also covers topics like sorting algorithms and searching techniques. Assessing this skill helps determine the candidate's ability to effectively organize, store, and retrieve data to solve complex problems efficiently.

Basics of Spring framework: The basics of the Spring framework involve understanding the core features and concepts of Spring, such as dependency injection, inversion of control, and aspect-oriented programming. It also includes knowledge of Spring configuration files and annotations. This skill is measured in the test to identify the candidate's familiarity with one of the most widely used Java frameworks for building enterprise applications.

Spring bean lifecycle: Spring bean lifecycle refers to the sequence of steps involved in the creation, initialization, and destruction of Spring beans. It encompasses concepts like instantiation, dependency injection, and bean post-processing. Evaluating this skill allows assessment of the candidate's understanding of how Spring manages the lifecycle of beans, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and scalability of Spring applications.

Securing web applications with Spring Security: Securing web applications with Spring Security focuses on implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms in Spring-based web applications. It includes knowledge of user authentication, role-based access control, and secure communication protocols. This skill is assessed to determine the candidate's ability to develop secure web applications that protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.

Java Programming: Java Programming encompasses the overall proficiency in writing efficient, modular, and maintainable Java code. It includes knowledge of advanced Java concepts like multithreading, exception handling, file I/O, and Java libraries. Assessing this skill helps gauge the candidate's ability to solve complex problems using Java and implement industry best practices for software development.

Have questions about the Java & Spring Hiring Test?

How does pricing work?

You can check out our pricing plans.

Can I customize the test?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up within 48 hours 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. You can also customize a test by uploading your own questions.

Can I combine multiple skills into one test?

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.

What roles can I use the Java & Spring Test for?

Here are few roles for which we recommend this test:

  • Java Developer
  • Full Stack Java Developer
  • Backend Java Developer
  • Java Application Developer
  • Java Architect
  • Java Team Lead
Can I see a sample test, or do you have a free trial?

Yes!

The free trial includes one sample technical test (Java/ JavaScript) and one sample aptitude test that you will find in your dashboard when you sign up. You can use it to review the quality of questions and the candidate experience of giving a test on Adaface.

You can preview any of the 500+ tests and see the sample questions to decide if it would be a good fit for your requirements.

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.

I'm a candidate. Can I try a practice test?

No. Unfortunately, we do not support practice tests at the moment. However, you can use our sample questions for practice.
