Preparing for a Scala 3 internship test with AI — what's the most effective approach?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm preparing for a Scala 3 programming test for a T-Bank internship program, expected on November 8. I'm new to Scala, but I already have some experience with Python.

I'm currently learning Scala 3 basics, including variables, loops, functions, collections, "map", "filter", and simple algorithms. My goal is to become comfortable enough with Scala to solve beginner-level coding problems independently.

I'd also like to use AI tools like ChatGPT effectively as a learning assistant, rather than relying on them to write solutions for me.

I'd appreciate your advice on a few questions:

  1. What should I focus on first? Which Scala 3 topics are essential for a beginner preparing for a coding test?

  2. How should I practice? Are there any good resources, websites, or LeetCode problems suitable for someone new to Scala?

  3. How can I use AI effectively? For example, should I ask it to explain concepts using Python comparisons, generate exercises, review my code, or simulate a technical interview?

  4. What mistakes should I avoid? Is it better to focus on understanding Scala syntax and collections first, or start solving algorithmic problems right away?

  5. What would your study plan look like for the next three weeks? I want to make consistent progress without trying to learn everything at once.

If you have experience preparing for Scala interviews or using AI to learn a new programming language, I'd love to hear what worked for you.

Thanks in advance!

Where can I find Scala 3 interview experiences and questions for T-Bank (Tinkoff) internships?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently preparing for a Scala 3 programming test for a T-Bank (Tinkoff) internship in November.

I'm a beginner in Scala, but I already have some experience with Python and basic programming concepts.

I'm looking for:

- Previous interview experiences from T-Bank Scala internship candidates

- Examples of coding tasks and technical questions

- Information about the topics covered in the programming test

- Any public repositories, GitHub collections, or community resources with practice problems

If you've applied for a Scala internship at T-Bank or know where I can find relevant materials, I'd really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!
