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 web proxy?

System DesignMedium

Let's design a web proxy. Consider the following requirements: Basic Functionality: The proxy should be able to forward HTTP and HTTPS requests from clients to web servers and return the responses. Caching: Implement caching to reduce latency and bandwidth usage for frequently accessed resources. How would you handle cache invalidation? Security: The proxy should support HTTPS and protect client data. How would you handle SSL/TLS certificates? Scalability: The proxy should be able to handle a large number of concurrent connections. What architectural choices would you make to ensure scalability? Authentication: Implement basic authentication (username/password) to control access to certain websites. Logging: Log requests and responses for debugging and monitoring purposes. What information should be logged, and how would you manage log files? Blocking: Implement the functionality to block access to certain websites based on a blacklist. Discuss the architecture, components, and algorithms involved in building such a web proxy. Include considerations for performance, security, and maintainability. Provide example scenarios and solutions to potential challenges.

Behavioral

Let's discuss your skillset. To start, can you elaborate on your technical proficiencies, such as your experience with programming languages, frameworks, and tools? For instance, have you worked with Python, Java, or C++? Are you familiar with front-end frameworks like React or Angular, or back-end technologies like Node.js or Django? Can you provide examples of projects where you effectively utilized these skills to overcome technical challenges? Furthermore, how do you approach learning new technologies and integrating them into your existing workflow? In addition to technical skills, can you share examples of your soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership? For example, describe a situation where you effectively communicated a complex technical concept to a non-technical audience, or a time when you successfully collaborated with a team to achieve a common goal. How do you handle conflicts within a team, and what strategies do you employ to ensure that everyone's voice is heard? Finally, how do you stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and advancements, and how do you continuously develop your skills to remain competitive in the ever-evolving tech landscape?
