Interview Process

The online assessment (OA) included a variant of a previously discussed problem related to a Bank System. The assessment focused on two main functions: transfer and transfer_accept. If a transfer is not accepted, the money is placed on hold. Additionally, there was a final question about merging accounts, which presented a challenge as some accounts, after merging, would be recreated.
