This is a description for the Online Assessment. I didn't do very well in the first part, which is debugging. I think I only got four out of the seven questions due to limited time, but I still passed. In part 2 there are two coding questions. I got one but didn't finish debugging so it didn't pass all the test cases. After that I got the email saying not to move forward.
