TacoCat
The Taco Cat coding challenge is based on the more traditional “Reverse a string” exercise but ultimately determines if a word or phrase is a palindrome.
The Reverse a string exercise in some form has been used by technology companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, VMware and Norton to assess a candidate’s ability to code an impromptu algorithm, test comprehension and ability to communicate the steps to a solution.
