maybe

#

I explained it as repeated division, as well as bit manipulation, and then coded it

#

and the interviewer still didn't exactly understand

#

so idk if my brain just wasn't working that day

Static hash table with 0-15 values. Go left to right multiplying each digit by the relevant power of ten

I don't totally get how that works .-.

#

my approach was to repeatedly take lower four bits of the number, then convert 0-15 in decimal to 0-F in hex, then shift the original number >> 4

#

which is just dividing by 16 and taking the mod each time

That works btw, your interviewer was tired or not prepared

#

If you communicated fairly then this sounds like bad luck
