Software Challenge

Software Challenge - Paint Calculator

Purpose

The purpose of this software challenge is to give you an opportunity to showcase how you think code should be written. It should be a demonstration of your skills and opinions.

Instructions

  • The solution should be completed using a TDD approach
  • Consider the use of comments where appropriate
  • Ensure your code is clean and readable. We value readable code over “clever” solutions
  • Ensure your solution contains a README with instructions on how to build and run your application
  • Your submission should be in the form of a Git repository
    • You should use Git tooling to provide a granular commit history
  • You are free to use whatever tools, libraries, and frameworks that you see fit
    • Prefer using technologies relevant to the role. For example, using web technologies for a web role
  • Don’t be shy to showcase your DevOps enthusiasm or experience!
  • State any assumptions made
  • Limit your time to 4 hours, and explain what you would refine if you had more time on the project

Scenario

Write a program that takes as input the dimensions of a room and outputs the following:

  • Area of the floor
  • Amount of paint required to paint the walls
  • Volume of the room
