Consider a stack of N number of cards which are piled up and in facing down. Each card has a unique number from the range 1 to N. The card is stacked in such a way that it exhibits the following behavior: Take the first card and put it under the stack without revealing. Now the next card on the top will have the number 1 on it. Next take 2 cards one after the other and put is under the stack without revealing. Yes you guessed it right - the next card on the top will reveal a value of 2. This goes on. Eg. for such a series : 9,1,8,5,2,4,7,6,3,10 [for N=10] Write a program to generate such a series for a given N number of cards so that this behavior can be exercised.

Since this was a testing interview and not full out development he had some testing terms I had never heard of these include: Equivalence Class Testing Pair Wise Combinatorial Testing Failure Mode Analysis the only one I heard of was: White Box vs Black Box testing The coding portion was not difficult the question was this Write a function that takes two lists of strings and return a list of Strings with all of the intersections of the strings ex: List1 = {"a","a","a", "b", "d"} List2 = {"a", "a", "c", "d"} expectedReturn={"a","a","d"} Also he asked what tests cases I would use to validate the function also he wanted to know the run time analysis of the function
