Write a function using iteration to print numbers from 1 to a given number, then extend it to print only even numbers, and finally modify it to accept a step size.

Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Write a function that uses iteration to print all numbers from 1 to a given number. For example, if the input is 5, the function should print: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now, extend this function to print only the even numbers within that range. For instance, if the input is 10, the output should be: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Finally, modify the function to accept a second argument, which represents the step size. Using iteration, print numbers starting from 1 up to the given number, incrementing by the step size. As an example, given the number 15 and a step size of 3, the expected output is: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13. Be sure to handle edge cases and invalid inputs appropriately.

Walk through a resume project, learning new tech, and maximum subarray problem with specific constraints. Optimize it further if possible too.

Behavioral

Let's explore your resume and then dive into a coding question. First, regarding your resume: Could you walk me through a project that you are particularly proud of? Describe your role, the challenges you faced, and the solutions you implemented. Be specific about the technologies you used and the impact your contributions had on the project's outcome. Tell me about a time you had to work with a technology or framework that you were unfamiliar with. How did you approach learning it, and how did you apply it to the project at hand? What resources did you find most helpful, and what challenges did you encounter during the learning process? Describe a situation where you had to make a trade-off between different approaches or technologies. What factors did you consider when making your decision, and how did you evaluate the potential consequences of each option? Can you provide a specific example of such a trade-off? Now, for the coding question: Given a list of integers, write a function to find the contiguous sub-array with the largest sum. For example, if the input is [-2, 1, -3, 4, -1, 2, 1, -5, 4], the output should be [4, -1, 2, 1], with a sum of 6. Explain your approach, and provide a working implementation of the function in your preferred programming language. Consider edge cases such as an empty input list or a list with only negative numbers. What is the time complexity of your solution? Can you optimize it further?
