Implement a Debounce Function in JavaScript
3/5An Apple frontend interview question on rate-limiting function calls: build a wrapper that postpones running a routine until calls have stopped arriving for a quiet period, so a burst of rapid events produces a single execution. It tests closures, timer management, cancellation, and avoiding race conditions when timers and callers overlap. The complete specification, test harness and a reference implementation are available with a subscription.
Coding & Leetcode-style QuestionsAppleARC Retain Cycles and weak vs unowned
3/5This Mobile engineering discussion focuses on memory management mechanics in Swift, specifically investigating how reference tracking handles object lifecycles and determines deallocation. Candidates must identify retain cycles caused by cyclic strong references and explain how to mitigate them using appropriate reference modifiers. The conversation also highlights common pitfalls involving closure captures in concurrent or asynchronous codebases. The full theoretical explanation and architectural best practices require a paid subscription.
