If you had a list of appointments (each appointment has a begin time, an end time, and a boolean hasConflict), how would you efficiently go through them and set the hasConflict boolean for each. You cannot assume they are sorted in any way. Keep in mind that one appointment may be very long, etc.

Phone interview question: Given a string pattern of 0s, 1s, and ?s (wildcards), generate all 0-1 strings that match this pattern. e.g. 1?00?101 -> [10000101, 10001101, 11000101, 11001101]. You can generate the strings in any order that suits you.

Consider an X x Y array of 1's and 0s. The X axis represents "influences" meaning that X influences Y. So, for example, if $array[3,7] is 1 that means that 3 influences 7. An "influencer" is someone who influences every other person, but is not influenced by any other member. Given such an array, write a function to determine whether or not an "influencer" exists in the array.

assume you are writing number in ascending order to an array of constant size. once you reach the end of the array, you start writing from the beginning, thus writing over the oldest entries. write an algorithm for finding a specific number in this array.
