Ardoq Coding Test, 2018

Ardoq Coding Test

The things we value the most in this test are readability, structure and simplicity of
your solutions. We do not care which language you pick for the job, as long as it’s
not some esoteric language like ​”Whitespace”​ or ​“Brainfuck”​. Furthermore, if you
assume anything, comment it in your code.

For question 2., please choose one of the options.

1. ​ Create a method that, given a list of integers, returns the highest product
between 3 of those numbers. Example:

[1, 10, 2, 6, 5, 3] = 300

Please provide tests that show your solution actually works.

Please state your assumptions.

2a. ​Create a simple Calculator REST API using JSON that supports input of
mathematical expressions with the basic operations: +, -, * and /. It should allow the
usage of brackets and understand operator precedence. Example:

POST /calc

{ “expression”: “-1 * (2 * 6 / 3)” }

Returns:

{ “result”: “-4” }

Extra points for the ability to retrieve history (usage of DB not mandatory).

2b. ​Host a website using whichever service you prefer (Firebase, Heroku, AWS,
Linode, etc.) that uses a public API of your liking (e.g. ​Oslo bysykkel​, ​Google Maps​,
Twitter​, ...) to display some data in a nice way. You can do whatever you want as
long as we’re able to confirm the following:

- ability to use a public API;

- ability to process data in different ways (sorting, filtering, etc.);
- ability to setup a simple front-end project;
- ability to separate design (html, css, etc.) from logic (javascript, php, etc.).
