This HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, and SQL Online Test Separates Good From Bad Hires

Every user on your website has an image avatar that is displayed when they post a comment. You want to style these images differently from other images on your site. Add a CSS class named avatar that fulfils the following requirements:

1. The avatar's border is rounded, so that it appears as a circle.
2. The avatar's width and height are both 150px.
3. The avatar has a solid border, has a width of 2px, and be colored gray.

For example, the avatar in the template should look like:

Implement the unique_names 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 unique_names(["Ava", "Emma", "Olivia"], ["Olivia", "Sophia", "Emma"]) should return an array containing Ava, Emma, Olivia, and Sophia in any order.

Implement the ensure function so that it throws an error if called without arguments or the argument is undefined. Otherwise it should return the given value.

Given the following data definition, write a query that returns the number of students whose first name is John.

TABLE students
   id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
   firstName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
   lastName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL

A table containing the students enrolled in a yearly course has incorrect data in records with ids between 20 and 100 (inclusive).

TABLE enrollments
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
  year INTEGER NOT NULL
  studentId INTEGER NOT NULL

Write a query that updates the field 'year' of every faulty record to 2015.

A Mathematics tutoring web application for kids has a button that highlights all even numbers (in span), using 'yellow' as the background color. Clicking the button again removes the background. All further clicks add or remove the 'yellow' background alternately.

Currently, the button doesn't work as expected. For the given HTML markup and JavaScript function, select all options that will identify and fix the bugs in the JavaScript function:

<div id='numbers'>
 <span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span><span>4</span><span>5</span>
 <button id='btn' onclick='toggleEvenColor()'>Toggle even number highlighting</button>
</div>

1: function toggleEvenColor() {
2:   let spanElements = document.querySelectorAll('#numbers span');
3:   spanElements.forEach(function() {
4:     item.style.backgroundColor = 'transparent';
5:   });
6: }

Information about pets is kept in two separate tables:

TABLE dogs
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

TABLE cats
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

Write a query that select all distinct pet names.

See the example case for more details.

A new social network site has the following data tables:

Select data that will be returned by the following SQL query:

SELECT users.name, COUNT(*) as count FROM users
LEFT JOIN friends
ON users.id = friends.user1 OR users.id = friends.user2
WHERE users.sex = 'f'
GROUP BY users.id, users.name;

Implement the removeProperty function which takes an object and property name, and does the following:

If the object obj has a property prop, the function removes the property from the object and returns true; in all other cases it returns false.

Update the website's HTML, without using JavaScript or CSS, to make use of semantic elements so that:

• The classless outer div element is replaced with a more appropriate element.
• The divs with the image and caption classes are replaced with self-contained content elements.
• The divs with the lorem-ipsum and description classes are replaced with elements, so that by default only the contents of the description element are shown. When the contents of the description element are clicked, the visibility of the rest of the lorem-ipsum element is toggled.

App usage data are kept in the following table:

TABLE sessions
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  userId INTEGER NOT NULL,
  duration DECIMAL NOT NULL

Write a query that selects userId and average session duration for each user who has more than one session.

See the example case for more details.

You've been sent a snippet from a spreadsheet, and have been asked to re-create it for display on the company's internal website.

Re-create the following spreadsheet using HTML, in a table appropriately captioned "Purchase Orders".

Write CSS so that the link <a href="http://www.testdome.com">Check documentation</a> looks like the one in the image below, and the cursor looks like a question mark when hovering over the link:

Each item in a web shop belongs to a seller. To ensure service quality, each seller has a rating.

The data are kept in the following two tables:

TABLE sellers
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
  rating INTEGER NOT NULL

TABLE items
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
  sellerId INTEGER
  FOREIGN KEY (sellerId) REFERENCES sellers(id)

Write a query that selects the item name and the name of its seller for each item that belongs to a seller with a rating greater than 4. The query should return the name of the item as the first column and name of the seller as the second column.

See the example case for more details.

Write a function that converts user entered date formatted as M/D/YYYY to a format required by an API (YYYYMMDD). The parameter "userDate" and the return value are strings.

For example, it should convert user entered date "12/31/2014" to "20141231" suitable for the API.

An image gallery is a set of images with corresponding remove buttons. This is the HTML code for a gallery with two images:

<div class="image">
  <img src="https://bit.ly/3lmYVna" alt="First">
  <button class="remove">X</button>
</div>
<div class="image">
  <img src="https://bit.ly/3flyaMj" alt="Second">
  <button class="remove">X</button>
</div>

Implement the setup function that registers a click event handler and implements the following logic: When the button of class remove is clicked, its parent <div> element should be removed from the gallery.

For example, after the first image has been removed from the gallery above, it's HTML code should look like this:

<div class="image">
  <img src="https://bit.ly/3flyaMj" alt="Second">
  <button class="remove">X</button>
</div>

Fix the bugs in the following HTML code.

Implement the function find_roots to find the roots of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c = 0. The function should return an array containing both roots in any order. If the equation has only one solution, the function should return that solution as both elements of the array. The equation will always have at least one solution.

The roots of the quadratic equation can be found with the following formula:

For example, find_roots(2, 10, 8) should return [-1, -4] or [-4, -1] as the roots of the equation 2x² + 10x + 8 = 0 are -1 and -4.

Your company assigns each customer a membership ID, and you are implementing a check digit for those IDs.

The check digit should be calculated by adding up all digits in each membership ID. If the result of the sum is a number with more than a single digit, another iteration is required, and the digits of the result also should be added together. This process should repeat until a single-digit number is calculated.

For example, for the membership ID "55555" the sum of all digits is 25. Because this is not a single-digit number, 2 and 5 would be added, and the result, 7, would be the check digit.

Implement a group_by_owners function that:

• Accepts a hash containing the file owner name for each file name.
• Returns a hash containing an array of file names for each owner name, in any order.

For example, for hash {'Input.txt' => 'Randy', 'Code.py' => 'Stan', 'Output.txt' => 'Randy'} the group_by_owners function should return {'Randy' => ['Input.txt', 'Output.txt'], 'Stan' => ['Code.py']}.

A playlist is considered a repeating playlist if any of the songs contain a reference to a previous song in the playlist. Otherwise, the playlist will end with the last song which points to undefined.

Implement the method isRepeatingPlaylist that, efficiently with respect to time used, returns true if a playlist is repeating or false if it is not.

For example, the following code prints "true" as both songs point to each other.

let first = new Song("Hello");
let second = new Song("Eye of the tiger");

first.nextSong = second;
second.nextSong = first;

console.log(first.isRepeatingPlaylist());

Write the function newMessage, which receives the name of the topic as the parameter. Function should change the background color of the p tag to red where the data-topic-name is topicName. A topicName that doesn't have a matching data-topic-name should be ignored.

For example, if the HTML is:

<div>
  <p data-topic-name="discussion">General discussion</p>
  <p data-topic-name="bugs">Bugs</p>
  <p data-topic-name="animals">Animals</p>
</div>

After calling newMessage("discussion") the HTML should be:

<div>
  <p data-topic-name="discussion" style="background-color: red;">General discussion</p>
  <p data-topic-name="bugs">Bugs</p>
  <p data-topic-name="animals">Animals</p>
</div>

Write a function that, when passed an array and a target sum, returns, efficiently with respect to time used, two distinct zero-based indices of any two of the numbers, whose sum is equal to the target sum. If there are no two numbers, the function should return null.

For example, findTwoSum([ 3, 1, 5, 7, 5, 9 ], 10) should return an array containing any of the following pairs of indices:

• 0 and 3 (or 3 and 0) as 3 + 7 = 10
• 1 and 5 (or 5 and 1) as 1 + 9 = 10
• 2 and 4 (or 4 and 2) as 5 + 5 = 10

You're making the 'Buy' button for a movie ticket website, which has the class buy-button.

The buy-button class has the following CSS:

.buy-button {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background: Orange;
  /* Make it a circle */
  border-radius: 50%;
  /* Center horizontally and vertically */
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

A 1 second animation named wiggle should be added to it so the button wiggles when the mouse hovers over it.

Rotating to 25 degrees clockwise (first 0.33 s), then to 25 degrees counterclockwise (second 0.33 s) and then returning to the original position.

It should look like this:

Which of the following would produce the desired animation?

With the new HTML5 features, modify the form so that:

• The formula input field suggests the following options when the user starts to type: "sin", "cos", "tan" and "cot".
• The iterations input field is a slider with possible values from 1 to 10.
• The precision input field is a number picker with possible values from 1 to 100, where 50 is the default value.

An HTML div element contains lists of endangered species grouped by continent and the species population status.

<div>
    <ul data-continent="North America">
        <li data-species="California condor">Critically Endangered</li>
        <li data-species="American bison">Near Threatened</li>
    </ul>
    <ul data-continent="Europe">
        <li data-species="Cave bear">Extinct</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Implement the function endangeredSpecies that returns how endangered a species is on a particular continent.

For example, endangeredSpecies('North America', 'American bison') should return 'Near Threatened'.

The following data definition defines an organization's employee hierarchy.

An employee is a manager if any other employee has their managerId set to this employee's id. That means John is a manager if at least one other employee has their managerId set to John's id.

TABLE employees
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
  managerId INTEGER
  name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
  FOREIGN KEY (managerId) REFERENCES employees(id)

Write a query that selects only the names of employees who are not managers.

See the example case for more details.

As part of a data processing pipeline, complete the implementation of the pipeline method:

• The method should accept a variable number of functions, and it should return a new function that accepts one parameter arg.
• The returned function should call the first function in the pipeline with the parameter arg, and call the second function with the result of the first function.
• The returned function should continue calling each function in the pipeline in order, following the same pattern, and return the value from the last function.

For example, pipeline(-> (x) { x * 3 }, -> (x) { x + 1 }, -> (x) { x / 2 }) then calling the returned function with 3 should return 5.

The following two tables are used to define users and their respective roles:

TABLE users
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  userName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

TABLE roles
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  role VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL

The users_roles table should contain the mapping between each user and their roles. Each user can have many roles, and each role can have many users.

Modify the provided SQL create table statement so that:

• Only users from the users table can exist within users_roles.
• Only roles from the roles table can exist within users_roles.
• A user can only have a specific role once.

See the example case for more details.

Fix the bugs in the registerHandlers function. An alert should display anchor's zero-based index within a document instead of following the link.

For example, in the document below, the alert should display "2" when Google anchor is clicked since it is the third anchor element in the document and its zero-based index is 2.

<body>
  In my life, I used the following web search engines:<br/>
  <a href="//www.yahoo.com">Yahoo!</a><br/>
  <a href="//www.altavista.com">AltaVista</a><br/>
  <a href="//www.google.com">Google</a><br/>
</body>

Function appendChildren should add a new child div to each existing div. New divs should be decorated by calling decorateDiv.

For example, after appendChildren is executed, the following divs:

<div id="a">
  <div id="b">
  </div>
</div>

should take the following form (assuming decorateDiv does nothing):

<div id="a">
  <div id="b">
    <div></div>
  </div>
  <div></div>
</div>

The code below should do the job, but for some reason it goes into an infinite loop. Fix the bugs.

Implement the filter method. It should accept a list of students and a variable number of filters. The filters will be passed in as lambdas, each of which will take one student record and return a boolean value.

filter should return a list of student records that have passed through all the filters.

If no filters are provided, the list of student records should be returned as is. If no students pass through all the provided filters (or if no students are provided), return an empty array.

For example, consider the following code:

students = [
  { name: 'Thomas Edison', gpa: 3.45 },
  { name: 'Grace Hopper', gpa: 3.99 },
  { name: 'Leonardo DaVinci', gpa: 2.78 }
]

honor_roll = ->(record) { record[:gpa] > 3.0 }

filter(students, honor_roll) should return:

[{:name=>"Thomas Edison", :gpa=>3.45},{:name=>"Grace Hopper", :gpa=>3.99}]

Using CSS only (without adding additional HTML attributes), style articles so that they occupy the whole browser window and have the following properties:

A website needs a list where users can rank their favorite foods. Write the setup function, which should register click handlers on all Up! and Down! buttons. The Up! button should move the list item one place up in the list, while Down! button should move the list item one place down in the list.

For example, consider this code:

document.body.innerHTML = `<ol>
  <li><button>Up!</button>Taco<button>Down!</button></li>
  <li><button>Up!</button>Pizza<button>Down!</button></li>
  <li><button>Up!</button>Eggs<button>Down!</button></li>
</ol>`;

setup();

If the button Up! button in Pizza list item is clicked, Pizza should be the first item in the list, while Taco should be the second item.

The following HTML represents a family tree:

<James>
  <Dave></Dave>
  <Mike></Mike>
  <Sarah></Sarah>
</James>

Implement the closestRelative function so that when a parent HTML element is passed, the function returns the parent's closest relative whose name matches the relativeName, and obeys the following rules:

• The parent parameter is the HTML element of which the closest relative will be a descendant.
• Each member of the family, including children, may also be a parent to one or more children.
• Children are more closely related to the parent than grandchildren.
• If several children in the same generation have the same name, then the first child in the tree is considered the closer relative.
• If no matching relative is found the function should return null.

For example, the below code should print 'MIKE' for the given family tree:

let parent = document.getElementsByTagName('James')[0];
let relative = closestRelative(parent, 'Mike');
console.log(relative && relative.tagName); // prints MIKE

Implement the showCustomers function so that it renders customers as list items. The first argument to the function, customers, is an array of objects with the name and email properties. The second argument to the function, targetList, is an unordered HTML list to which each customer should be added as a separate list item.

The name and email properties should be added as two paragraphs inside the list item. At first, the email paragraph element should not be present in the DOM. The email paragraph element should be added to the DOM after the name is clicked, and it should be removed from the DOM when the name is clicked again.

For example, the following code:

document.body.innerHTML = `
<div>
  <ul id="customers">
  </ul>
</div>
`;
let customers = [{name: "John", email: "john@example.com"},
                 {name: "Mary", email: "mary@example.com"}];
showCustomers(customers, document.getElementById("customers"));

let customerParagraph = document.querySelectorAll("li > p")[0];
if(customerParagraph) {
  customerParagraph.click();
}
console.log(document.body.innerHTML);

Should render:

<div>
  <ul id="customers">
    <li>
      <p>John</p>
      <p>john@example.com</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Mary</p>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

An insurance company maintains records of sales made by its employees. Each employee is assigned to a state. States are grouped under regions. The following tables contain the data:

TABLE regions
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
  name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL

TABLE states
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
  name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
  regionId INTEGER NOT NULL
  FOREIGN KEY (regionId) REFERENCES regions(id)

TABLE employees
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
  name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
  stateId INTEGER NOT NULL
  FOREIGN KEY (stateId) REFERENCES states(id)

TABLE sales
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
  amount INTEGER NOT NULL
  employeeId INTEGER NOT NULL
  FOREIGN KEY (employeeId) REFERENCES employees(id)  

Management requires a comparative region sales analysis report.

Write a query that returns:

• The region name.
• Average sales per employee for the region (Average sales = Total sales made for the region / Number of employees in the region).
• The difference between the average sales of the region with the highest average sales, and the average sales per employee for the region (average sales to be calculated as explained above).

Employees can have multiple sales. A region with no sales should be also returned. Use 0 for average sales per employee for such a region when calculating the 2nd and the 3rd column.

See the example case for more details.
