Interview Practice

This project is set up for technical interview practice using Deno 2.4.2.

Getting Started

This project uses mise as the preferred way to interact with the repository. Mise will handle setting up the correct Deno version and environment.

Prerequisites

Install mise if you haven't already:

curl https://mise.run | sh

Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Navigate to the project directory
3. Run mise install to install the correct Deno version
4. You're ready to go!

Project Structure

• problems/ - Directory containing all interview problems
• solutions/ - Generated solutions from problem implementations
• scripts/ - Utility scripts for analyzing and extracting solutions

Each problem file contains:

• An empty function wrapper representing the problem to implement (prefixed with problem_)
• A series of Deno.test tests that verify the solution
• Everything in a single file per problem

Usage

Running Tests

To run tests for a specific problem:

mise exec -- deno test problems/problem-name.ts

To run all tests:

mise exec -- deno test problems/

Alternative (without mise)

If you prefer not to use mise, ensure you have Deno 2.4.2+ installed:

deno test problems/problem-name.ts  # Specific problem
deno test problems/                 # All problems

Adding New Problems

1. Create a new file in the problems/ directory
2. Add an empty function wrapper for the problem
3. Write comprehensive tests using Deno.test
4. Keep everything in a single file

Requirements

• Deno 2.4.2 or later (automatically managed by mise)
• Only use dependencies from JSR or NPM (no HTTP package imports)
• Follow latest Deno best practices
