'Is there a way to return integers separated by space from a function whose return type is int?
so I took this OA for an interview and one of the questions was:
given an input of a bunch of integers, sum them up and return those input integers that the sum isn't divisible by.
For example if our input is:
1 2 3 4 5 our output should be 2 4, since the sum is 15 and 1 3 and 5 can divide 15.
The issue was the return type of the function in which I had to write this was int, and I was supposed to return all the integers separated by space. An array or tuple of the integers would not satisfy the requirement.
Any help? I could choose any language to solve this so it's not a language specific question.
Solution 1:[1]
I don't think most languages allow for non-int characters to be returned in the int data type. Perhaps use 0 instead of space so in this case return 204.
Solution 2:[2]
You can try to print them with “for” cycle on one line separated with space.
