OOP Problems to use for Coding Tests during interviews

Question

As a second interview I get people to sit down and write code...I try to make the problem really technology independent.

My programming problems that I have don\'t reall

Answer 1

ideally, you want to present a problem that appears difficult, but has a simple, elegant, obvious solution if you think in OO terms

perhaps:

• we need to control access to a customer web site
• each customer may have one or more people to access the site
• different people from different customers may be able to view different parts of the site
• the same person may work for more than one customer
• customers want to manage permissions based on the person, department, team, or project

design a solution for this using object-oriented techniques

one OO solution is to have a Person, a Customer, an Account, and AccountPermissions, where the Account specifies a Person and a Customer and an optional Parent Account. the use of a recursive Account object collapses the otherwise cumbersome person/team/department/project structure a direct ERD solution might yield
