Hackerrank coding question: You are given 2 arrays: one representing the time people arrive at a door and other representing the direction they want to go(in or out) You have to find at what time each person will use the door provided no 2 people can use the door at the same time. Constraints: the door starts with ‘in’ position, in case of a conflict(2 or more people trying to use the door at the same time), the direction previously used holds precedence. If there is no conflict whoever comes first uses the door. Also if no one uses the door, it reverts back to the starting ‘in’ position. Should be linear time complexity. If you solve this, please comment with how much time you think you would need to solve this in an interview and your yoe.. just wondering

i am putting it exactly how the biased interviewer put the question, "In a railway station, trains are arriving at every 10mins, another train arrives at once in every 15mins, how many platforms the station has?", i asked him multiple clarifications on the questions (listed below) and always got the same annoying reply, "the question is clear, do you have any questions?" 1. Me: so there are two trains? Interviewer: No answer but humming something.. 2. Me: so it's spans for multiple days? Interviewer:"the question is clear, do you have any questions?" 3. Me: can you give me a sample input/output? am unable to understand. Interviewer: the question is clear, do you have any questions? In-between he got busy in the other monitor, whatever i ask or talk he kept humming something.. i shared the interview feedback with HR and as everyone knows of this salesforce(or microsoft) hyderabad culture, got no acknowledgment. i think as most of the employees are from that particular state their intention is to reject outsiders.
