You are given an array of time intervals (start, end) for meetings. Merge the overlapping intervals and return an array of non-overlapping intervals representing the consolidated meeting times. For example: Given the intervals [[1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18]], the expected output is [[1,6],[8,10],[15,18]]. The intervals [1,3] and [2,6] overlap and are merged into [1,6]. Given the intervals [[1,4],[4,5]], the expected output is [[1,5]]. The intervals [1,4] and [4,5] overlap and are merged into [1,5]. Given the intervals [[1,4],[0,4]], the expected output is [[0,4]]. The intervals [1,4] and [0,4] overlap and are merged into [0,4]. Given the intervals [[1,4],[0,2],[3,5]], the expected output is [[0,5]]. The intervals [1,4] and [0,2] overlap and are merged into [0,4]. Then [0,4] and [3,5] are merged into [0,5]. Explain your approach. Write a function that takes a list of intervals and returns a list of merged intervals. What is the time and space complexity of your solution?

Let's design an A/B test to re-engage inactive users of a mobile fitness app. Assume that users are considered inactive if they haven't used the app for 30 days. Our goal is to increase the number of users who return and actively use the app. Consider the following when designing your A/B test: Control Group: This group receives no intervention. We'll use this as our baseline to measure against. Treatment Group A: Push Notification with Personalized Workout Recommendations: Users in this group receive a push notification that includes workout recommendations tailored to their past activity and fitness goals (e.g., Ready for your next challenge? Try this 30-minute HIIT workout based on your past activity!). Treatment Group B: In-App Discount on Premium Features: Users in this group receive a notification when they open the app offering a discounted rate on the app's premium features, such as personalized training plans or access to exclusive content (e.g., Welcome back! Enjoy 50% off a premium training plan this week only!). For this A/B test design, specify: The hypothesis for each treatment group. The target metric(s) you would track to measure success, and how you would measure them. The segmentation you might consider when analyzing results (e.g. by workout type, fitness level, demographics). The duration of the A/B test and the sample size needed for statistical significance. Explain your reasoning. The potential risks and how you would mitigate them.

Let's delve into your past projects and experiences. I am interested in understanding how you approach problem-solving in real-world scenarios. Could you walk me through a particularly challenging project you've worked on, outlining the initial problem, the steps you took to address it, and the final outcome? What obstacles did you encounter, and how did you overcome them? Furthermore, what specific technologies or methodologies did you employ, and why were they chosen? For example, perhaps you worked on a project to optimize a database query that was causing performance bottlenecks. What steps did you take to identify the root cause of the bottleneck? Did you use any specific profiling tools or techniques? How did you determine the best approach to optimize the query, and what were the trade-offs involved? What was the measurable impact of your optimization efforts on the overall system performance? Alternatively, consider a project where you were tasked with migrating a legacy application to a new platform. What were the key challenges involved in this migration? How did you ensure data integrity and minimal downtime during the transition? What strategies did you use to manage the complexities of the migration process, and how did you collaborate with other team members to achieve a successful outcome? Finally, reflect on a time when you had to learn a new technology or skill quickly to contribute to a project. What strategies did you employ to accelerate your learning process? How did you apply your newfound knowledge to solve real-world problems within the project, and what lessons did you learn from this experience?
