Question 1
Technical Phone Screen Coding question: You will be supplied with two data files in CSV format .
The first file contains statistics about various dinosaurs. The second file contains additional data.
Given the following formula, speed = ((STRIDE_LENGTH / LEG_LENGTH) - 1) * SQRT(LEG_LENGTH * g)
Where g = 9.8 m/s^2 (gravitational constant)
Write a program to read in the data files from disk, it must then print the names of only the bipedal dinosaurs from fastest to slowest.
Technical Phone screen systems: various questions on linux internal and troubleshooting,
few examples: Swap space, strace command, memory related troubleshooting.
