Finding values of A and B from an array so that addition or subtraction equals to 40 -


recently in interview asked question.

given:

  1. a + or - b = 40 // can choose 1 operator + or -

  2. [list of numbers in array]

explain how choose numbers , b given array make result 40 ?

my answer:

consider 1st element of array a, iterate through array start find possible values of b while process fetch each element array, sum , compare 40.

but not happy.

any other approaches ?

i trying split utf-8 string bytes in python 3. problem is, when use bytearray, byte, encode etc functions array size of element 14 bytes, not 1 byte expected. need split text file sequence of bytes , send them byte after byte using sockets. tried this: infile = open (file, "r") str = infile.read() byte_str = bytes(str, 'utf-8') print("size of byte_str",sys.getsizeof(byte_str[0])) print gives me 14, need 1... suggestion? quoting official documentation : sys.getsizeof(object[, default]) return size of object in bytes. object can type of object. built-in objects return correct results, not have hold true third-party extensions implementation specific. only memory consumption directly attributed object accounted for, not memory consumption of objects refers to. if given, default returned if object not provide means retrieve size. otherwise typeerror raised. getsizeof() calls object’s __sizeof__ method , adds ...
