elevators and floors are countable, therefore amount -> number

Aug 25, 2015 at 15:10 comment added Mathieu Guindon Mod Typically we leave the specs as open-ended as possible, so as to not limit languages, creativity and required skills - basically these "challenges" are merely an inspiration for something to implement and put up for review, nothing with hard specs or anything.
Aug 25, 2015 at 15:02 comment added Carl Speaking of this, I do see that this is getting to be a popular idea. Should I refine the rules as I see fit? Maybe create the base input file and expected output? How much responsibility do I have to make sure this runs smoothly? :)
Aug 25, 2015 at 14:58 comment added Carl This is a relatively common interview question, and there are quite a few frills that such a system can have. I'm not sure the time that people can devote to this, but I feel like just having, say, two elevators that go where they are supposed to is probably enough for this challenge.
Aug 18, 2015 at 10:33 comment added Simon Forsberg Mod I think there's some Stack Overflow related questions about this, for example stackoverflow.com/q/493276/1310566 . Making efficient elevators can be a quite interesting task.
