Almost true story,

Given a list of objects A (array of Items {id:2, name:"a"}), and another list of search results S (array of Items), filter the items from search results that exists in the A list.

Probably one of the candidates will not consider the computation complexity and will do something like: for each item in S search for the id in A, making S.length unnecessary loops.

I would point out that a bootcamp is not a replacement for a 3 year CS study, is just a quick way to make websites. But maybe that what the company needs, a freshman who can deliver something in their first weeks.


As who should be hired, you only presented a superficial property of the candidates, no sane person could choose only based on this arbitrary fact. (Except for an HR, similar arbitrary rejections happen to me right now)
