Use of DevOps Engineer - Remove Duplicates with Replacement (Python Function) Test
The "Remove Duplicates with Replacement (Python Function)" coding test challenges DevOps Engineers to create a Python function called remove_duplicates that takes a list of integers as input and returns a new list with all duplicates removed. In the new list, if there are multiple occurrences of the same integer, except the last occurrence, they should be replaced with the '_' character. The task requires knowledge of list manipulation, duplicate removal, and replacement in Python. DevOps Engineers need to demonstrate their proficiency in Python programming, list operations, and problem-solving.
This test evaluates their ability to handle list inputs, identify duplicates, perform replacements, and generate accurate results using Python functions. It is particularly relevant for DevOps Engineers looking to showcase their skills in Python programming and their understanding of list manipulation and algorithmic thinking.
