One of my friends recently went to an interview to a very well known startup company. It is supposed to hire only the very best people in the industry.  One of the problem that he was asked to white board was:

You have a robot that can turn left and right. It can also move forward and backwards. You have a legacy robot that can only turn right and move forward. You want the legacy robot to turn left and to move backwards. Design a adapter class that would allow the legacy robot to turn right and to move backwards.

Solution

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
public interface IRobot
{
    void GoFront(int noOfSteps);
    void GoBack(int noOfSteps);
    void TurnRight(int degrees);
    void TurnLeft(int degrees);
}
public class LegacyRobot
{
    public void GoFront(int noOfSteps)
    {
    }
    public void TurnRight(int degrees)
    {
    }
}
public class Robot : IRobot
{
    public void GoFront(int noOfSteps)
    {
    }
    public void GoBack(int noOfSteps)
    {
    }
    public void TurnRight(int degrees)
    {
    }
    public void TurnLeft(int degrees)
    {
    }
}
public class LegacyRobotAdapter : IRobot
{
    LegacyRobot legacyRobot;
    public LegacyRobotAdapter(LegacyRobot legacyRobot)
    {
        this.legacyRobot = legacyRobot;
    }
    public void GoFront(int noOfSteps)
    {
        this.legacyRobot.GoFront(noOfSteps);
    }
    //The legacy robot can go back by turning right by 180 degrees
    //then going front by the number of steps requested by the client
    //then turning right by 180 degrees to be facing from where the robot started from. 
    public void GoBack(int noOfSteps)
    {
        this.legacyRobot.TurnRight(180);
        this.legacyRobot.GoFront(noOfSteps);
        this.legacyRobot.TurnRight(180);
    }
    public void TurnRight(int degrees)
    {
        this.legacyRobot.TurnRight(degrees);
    }
    //The legacy robot can turn left by turning right by 360 degrees minus the client requested degrees to turn
    public void TurnLeft(int degrees)
    {
        this.legacyRobot.TurnRight(360 - degrees);
    }
}
