dropwizard-interview-questions

A sample/skeleton to serve as a starting off point for a new dropwizard service, it also serves as a repository for implementing some toy algorithms related to CS interview questions.

This repositories only purpose is as a learning tool, none of algorithms should considered correct or optimal.

Blog post walking through this setup - http://honstain.com/new-dropwizard-1-0-5-java-service/

  • Updated to dropwizzard 1.0.6
  • Updated to dropwizard 1.2.4

Build and Run Locally

Building and running a basic dropwizard service as a JAR file. We will be using maven-jar-plugin and maven-shade-plugin to construct a jar file with our required dependencies.

mvn package
java -jar target/dropwizard-interview-questions-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar server hello-world.yml

Solutions

This is just a rough overview of the mish-mash of solutions coded up in here. TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, these are toy solutions created to help practice interviewing (getting interviewed and conducting interviews). It is recorded here only for my own records, and it's usefulness for others is not really considered.

  • HellowWorldResource A grab bag of random algorithms implemented in the dropwizard resource
    • uniqueCheck Algorithm to check is a string has all unique characters
    • uniqueCheckV2 Algorithm to check is a string has all unique characters
    • permutationCompare compare two strings identify if they are a permutation of each other
    • permutationCompareV2 compare two strings identify if they are a permutation of each other
      • Example url localhost:8080/hello-world/permutationCompareV2?string1=AAAB&string2=ABAA
  • binaryTree Binary Tree - check if a binary tree is balanced.
    • Solution to CrackingTheCodingInterview problem 4.4 - solution produced on whiteboard under timelimit.
    • checkTreeRecursive to evaluate if a given binary tree is a binary search tree.
    • Solution to problem 4.2 recursiveBuild will construct a binary search tree of minimum height from a sorted array of integers with repetition.
  • HelloWorldResource.traverseCounterClockWise Traverse a 2D array counter clockwise
    • Problem encountered in interview loop.
  • lrucache Least Recently Used Cache
    • A toy implementation based on an interview question.
  • lrucacheV2 Least Recently Used Cache - Show stopping bug
    • A toy implementation based on an interview question, with a serious flaw.
  • FindMaxSubarray Solution and tests to the interview question about finding the longest subarray with an equal number of letters and numbers in an array.
  • interviewSort.Sorting an interview problem to merge to sorted arrays.
