# Q1: Write a function to intersect two *sorted* lists (find common elements) # Write a method taking two lists as input, and returning a new list # You can assume you have a reasonable array/list class available (ArrayList, vector, python list, etc) # Ex: # l1 = [1,2,3,4,5] # l2 = [1,5,7,11,100] # result = [1,5]

Implement a library function which takes a collection of integers (Collection<Integer>) computes its sum and returns the result. The implementation must establish preconditions which ensure lack of runtime error(s). Implement the above function using recursion only.

The first round questions included basic dataframe manipulations, a regex question on writing a pattern to identify specific phrase which could have any number of random words in between (eg. between high and calorie, there could be any number of words upto 4 eg. high word1 calorie, high word1 word2 calorie' etc). This also needed some basic preprocessings like handling unidecode errors, punctuations and numbers in a string. Another question was a probability based descriptive question and a easy question on coding to print numbers between 0 to 100 which were prime.
