Why do you want to work at Jane Street? Asked to write a program (in language of choice) that took a name and a sequence of characters (as, for example, the name "jump" would be assigned the sequence 'ABC' in a simple video game). Needed one method to store name-sequence pairs, and one method that would print any names associated with a sequence of characters entered by the user.
