Hey guyz,
Can anyone resolve the test from this site and give me answers?

http://www.betterprogrammer.com/

I will appreciate it if you do. It only 8min to resolve supposedly.

I can paypal $20 for the help.

Thank you
 
At first glance, it seems that there are many functions that you need to make, and they vary when you re-take the test.

EDIT: Heres a few for you:
Code:
public class BetterProgrammerTask {

    public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] a) {
        /*
          Please implement this method to
          remove all duplicates from the original array. Retain the order of the elements and
          always retain the first occurrence of the duplicate elements.
          For example, parameter: {2,1,2,3}, result: {2,1,3}
         */
		final int MAX = 100; 

		//we are counting here integers with the same value
		int [] arrayOfValues = new int[MAX+1];
		int countOfUniqueIntegers = 0;
		for(int i : a) {
			if(arrayOfValues[i] == 0) {
				countOfUniqueIntegers++;
			}
			arrayOfValues[i]++;
		}

		// you can use arrayOfValues (smaller) or convert it
		// to table of unique values (more usable)

		int[] arrayOfUniqueValues = new int[countOfUniqueIntegers];
		int index = 0;
		for(int i = 0; i<arrayOfValues.length; i++) {
			if(arrayOfValues[i] != 0) {
				arrayOfUniqueValues[index] = i;
				index++;
			}
		}
		return arrayOfUniqueValues;
	}
}

public class BetterProgrammerTask {

    public static String reverseWords(String s) {
        /*
          Assume that the parameter String can only contain spaces and alphanumeric characters.
          Please implement this method to
          reverse each word in the original String while maintaining the word order.
          For example:
          parameter: "Hello world", result: "olleH dlrow"
         */
		 String temp = "";
		 for (int i = s.length()-1; i > 0; i--) {
			temp += s.charAt(i);
		 }
		 return temp;
    }
}

public class BetterProgrammerTask {

    public static int countWaysToJump(int N) {
        /*
          A set of stairs has N steps.
          You can jump either 1 or 2 steps at a time.
          For example, if the stairs is N=4 steps, you can reach the end in 5 possible ways:
          1-1-1-1, or 1-2-1 or 1-1-2 or 2-1-1 or 2-2
          Please implement this method to
          return the count of the different ways to reach the end of the stairs with N steps.
         */

    }

I think it will be easy. First one is very easy. Let me know if anyone have already done this for you. If not, then I can give it a try.
