VB.NET Interview Questions

Implement the UniqueNames method. When passed two arrays of names, it will return an array containing the names that appear in either or both arrays. The returned array should have no duplicates.

For example, calling MergeNames.UniqueNames({'Ava', 'Emma', 'Olivia'}, {'Olivia', 'Sophia', 'Emma'}) should return an array containing Ava, Emma, Olivia, and Sophia in any order.

Implement a function FolderNames, which accepts a string containing an XML file that specifies folder structure and returns all folder names that start with startingLetter. The XML format is given in the example below.

For example, for the letter "u" and XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<folder name="c">
    <folder name="program files">
        <folder name="uninstall information" />
    </folder>
    <folder name="users" />
</folder>

the function should return "uninstall information" and "users" (in any order).

User interface contains two types of user input controls: TextInput, which accepts all characters and NumericInput, which accepts only digits.

Implement the class TextInput that contains:

• Public sub Add(c As Char) - adds the given character to the current value
• Public function GetValue() As String - returns the current value

Implement the class NumericInput that:

• Inherits TextInput
• Overrides the Add method so that each non-numeric character is ignored

For example, the following code should output "10":

Dim input As TextInput = New NumericInput()
input.Add(CChar("1"))
input.Add(CChar("a"))
input.Add(CChar("0"))
Console.WriteLine(input.GetValue())
