Quant Researcher / Quant Trader — Coding OA — Portfolio Weights
Implement capWeights(stockTickers, numShare, pricePerShare, maxWeight): compute each stock's dollar weight, then enforce that no stock exceeds maxWeight (W). Cap the highest-weighted stock first, redistribute the removed excess proportionally to the other stocks' current weights, break ties by alphabetically-first ticker, and keep the total at 100%. Return -1 when maxWeight·N < 1 (the cap is infeasible). Example calls cap at 0.42, 0.35, and 0.40.
