The Python online test assesses knowledge of programming in the Python language and commonly used parts of the Python Standard Library. This test requires solving live coding problems in Python.
The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:
- Working with Python collections and language constructs.
- Using proper algorithms and data structures to optimize application performance.
- Serializing to/from JSON to handle web requests.
A good Python developer needs a solid understanding of the Python programming language and knowledge of its data structures and language constructs to write robust and maintainable code.
Sample public questions
Your company is analyzing malware that targets numerical record files stored in an array.
The malware adjusts values at the array extremes using a window of size 's' as shown in the video below:
Implement the simulate method so that the malware behavior is replicated for further study.
A gaming company is working on a platformer game. They need a function that will compute the character's final speed, given a map and a starting speed.
The terrain on which the game character moves forward is made from various pieces of land placed together. Implement the function calculate_final_speed which takes the initial speed of the character, and a list of degrees of inclination that represent the uneven terrain.
The speed of the character will increase or decrease proportionally to the incline of the land, as shown in the image below:
The magnitude of the angle of inclination will always be < 90°. The speed change occurs only once for each piece of land. The function should immediately return 0 as the final speed if an incline reduces the speed to 0 or below 0, which makes the character lose 1 life.
For example, the below code:
print(calculate_final_speed(60, [0, 30, 0, -45, 0]))
should print:
75

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
