The interviewers were both friendly and supportive throughout the entire process. They guided me and provided helpful hints as I worked through the two problems presented to me. Their approachable demeanor made it easy for me to engage with them, and I felt comfortable asking questions when I needed clarification.

Question 1
Assume you are given a stream of sequences. You need to implement a system similar to promises in JavaScript, where you wait for one stream to process before moving on to the next. For instance, consider how we watch movies on Netflix: the sequences come in order. Even if sequence 4 loads faster, it should still wait for sequences 1, 2, and 3 to load first. The goal is to ensure that the sequences are processed in the correct order, regardless of their loading times.
