Apple phone interview

Given an API to find all IPv4 addresses in a log file, find all IPs that occurred only once.

Follow-up: What if the log comes from a data stream.

Follow-up: If the machine has 4GB RAM, is there going to be a problem?

write bash code to determine if the first number in the string is greater than 1000

STR="count ------- 43952 (1 rows)"

There is 3D space, limited with a cube, with edge=2000.

The center of coordinate system is point (0; 0; 0), so the maximum/minimal coordinate value is 1000/-1000.

There are 10000 points generated with discrete uniform distribution inside of K spheres, located in the cube.

Radius (R) of each sphere is 250.

Centers of spheres are located at the distance of not less than 2*R.

It is required to determine which point related to which sphere.

Input: array of 10000 structures, like:

struct Point {

int number;
int x;
int y;
int z;

}
where number is unique id of the point, x,y,z - it's coordinates.

Output:

array of 10000 structures, like:

struct Point {

int number;
int cluster_id;

}
where cluster_id is unique cluster id of a sphere that point belongs to.

Initially I considered a following solution:

1) Find Euclidian distance for each point from center of coordinates (0;0;0) to point's coordinates.

2) Sort this array of distances in descending order.

3) Get the point from the sorted array of distances and put in a new Set of Cluster Maximals.

4) Compare following point from the array to each value from the Set of Cluster Maximals (initially 1 value).

If it's Euclidian distance less than or equal to 2*R, then

mark this point as belonging to Kth cluster (range=1..N), otherwise add the point to the Set of Cluster Maximals.

5) Repeat step 4.

Two concerns I have:

1) There is an issue that my algorithm would work only in case if Claster Maximals are located on the surface of the spheres.

2) Plus, according to the task requirements, there could be the case when 2 spheres can have 1 and only common point.

I think in case if point belongs to 2 spheres, it is ok to mark it with cluster_id of any of these 2 shperes.

Could you please provide a proper solution to the task?

Given array of length n, having element 0 to n-1.
you are allowed to swap adjacent element only if Absolute difference of two element is equal to 1.

Is it possible to sort array.
If yes print sorted output.

1) Given a file containing lines of chars, find if it contains "aaaaab\naaaaa" string pattern. Need to return true only if contains the EXACT pattern specified (observe the new line character).

2) How do you differentiate between actual new line and the new line character?

3) what if the file is way too big to bring it all in memory?

/**
* Given a nested list of integers, returns the sum of all integers in the list weighted by their REVERSED depth.
* For example, given the list {{1,1},2,{1,1}} the deepest level is 2. Thus the function should return 8 (four 1's with weight 1, one 2 with weight 2)
* Given the list {1,{4,{6}}} the function should return 17 (one 1 with weight 3, one 4 with weight 2, and one 6 with weight 1)

Given an array of integers where size of array can be large. Find if it is possible to make all elements of given array equal by multiplying elements with one or more input prime numbers.

e.g.
arr = 50, 200
primes to use = 2, 3
so possible by multiplying 50 by 2 * 2

e.g.
arr = 3, 5
primes to use = 7
not possible

Modify it as:
1->6->2->5->3->4
