How would you sum the elements in an array of integers? What is the time complexity?

Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

Given an array of integers, write a function to calculate the sum of all the numbers in the array. For example, if the input array is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], your function should return 15 (which is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5). Can you write an efficient function to do this, and what is the time complexity of your solution? As a follow-up, consider how you would handle extremely large arrays or arrays containing very large numbers to prevent overflow. Can you provide an example implementation in your preferred language?

How would you design a prototype to answer questions on financial documents, like annual reports?

System DesignMedium

Let's design a prototype for a system that answers questions based on financial documents. To make this concrete, imagine a user needs to quickly find information within a company's annual report (a PDF containing financial statements, management discussion, etc.). The user might ask questions like: What was the company's revenue for the last fiscal year? What were the primary risks identified by management? How did operating expenses change compared to the previous year? Describe your approach to building a prototype that can accurately and efficiently answer these types of questions. Consider aspects such as: Document ingestion and processing:** How would you load and pre-process the financial documents (e.g., PDF parsing, text extraction)? Information retrieval:** What techniques would you use to identify the relevant sections of the document that contain the answer? Question answering:** How would you extract the answer from the relevant text (e.g., using rule-based methods, machine learning models)? Data storage:** How would you store the information from the documents to allow for efficient querying? User interface:** How would the user interact with the system to ask questions and receive answers? Evaluation:** How would you evaluate the performance of your prototype?
