Amazon interview: malloc32 Align & Space reduction

Jun 11, 2017

2 Questions that were asked at Amazon for a SW Engineer position:
1 - You should write malloc32+free32 function:
* malloc32 should always returns an address that is dividable by 32.
* you can't use (modulus operator) %.
* free32 should free the whole allocated space.
* Time Complexity and space Complexity should be O(1)
* assumption: Time and Space Complexity of malloc is O(1).
2 - given a string you should reduce the number of adjacent spaces as follows:
* if there is more than 1 consecutive spaces it should be reduced to one.
* if there is 1 or 0 space it should stay the same.
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)
