Numbers are removed from the stack one-by-one and pushed into another array (numbers could be removed at any time, even before all the numbers have been added to the stack). What order of numbers in the array could NOT be produced by this scenario? Write code to determine if a sequence of numbers could have been produced by this scenario.

Didnt ask anything about me or my resume. They sent ma link to write the code. Asked me to write the code for finding the number of words in a string without using split and scanner. Then asked me to improve the code to accommodate corner case i.e if multiple spaces or null string etc. Asked me to write the test cases for the program.
