Pregunta 1
Given a set A of 20 distinct positive integers, find two subsets that have the same sum.
For example, if A = {10, 20, 30, 40, ..., 200}, then {10, 20, 30, 40, 100}
and {90, 110} are two subsets that have the same sum (which is 200).
If there exists such a pair of subset, print out the numbers, otherwise print out "none".
If there are multiple such sets, you only need find and print out one pair.
Initial screening call with recruiter followed by a 1 hr hacker rank question on DSA. The final round was a panel consisting of 4 interviews ranging from technical design, more DSA and behaviour questions.
