Given a string expression of numbers and operators, return all possible results from computing all the different possible ways to group numbers and operators. You may return the answer in any order. The test cases are generated such that the output values fit in a 32-bit integer and the number of different results does not exceed 104. For example: If the input is expression = 2-1-1 The expected output is [0,2] Because: ((2-1)-1) = 0 (2-(1-1)) = 2 If the input is expression = 23-45 The expected output is [-34,-14,-10,-10,10] Because: (2(3-(45))) = -34 ((23)-(45)) = -14 ((2(3-4))5) = -10 (2((3-4)5)) = -10 (((23)-4)5) = 10 Constraints: 1 <= expression.length <= 20 expression consists of digits and the operator '+', '-', and '*'. All the integer values in the input expression are in the range [0, 99]. The integer values in the input expression do not have a leading '-' or '+' denoting the sign.

Tell me about the most difficult project you've ever worked on and how you managed to deliver. To provide context, please consider these aspects: What were the specific challenges? For example, was it a tight deadline, limited resources, a novel technology, ambiguous requirements, or conflicting stakeholder expectations? Elaborate on the nature and magnitude of these challenges. What role did you play? Were you leading the project, a core contributor, or in a support role? Describe your responsibilities and level of autonomy. What specific actions did you take to overcome these challenges? Did you implement any specific strategies, tools, or methodologies? Did you have to make any difficult decisions or trade-offs? Provide concrete examples of your problem-solving approach, technical skills, and leadership abilities. How did you collaborate with your team and stakeholders? Describe how you communicated progress, resolved conflicts, and ensured alignment among team members and stakeholders. Did you have to manage any difficult personalities or navigate any political sensitivities? What were the results of your efforts? Did you successfully deliver the project? Did you meet or exceed expectations? What were the key lessons learned from this experience? Quantify your accomplishments whenever possible (e.g., reduced costs by X%, improved efficiency by Y%). For instance, perhaps you spearheaded the development of a new machine learning model with a very aggressive timeline while dealing with constantly shifting requirements from the business team and a lack of readily available training data. Or maybe you were tasked with migrating a legacy system to a modern cloud-based architecture with limited budget and a team with varying levels of expertise. Or consider a situation where you were responsible for launching a new product feature under immense pressure from senior management, requiring you to make tough calls on scope and prioritize ruthlessly. Share your story, highlighting the obstacles you faced and how you successfully navigated them.
