Software engineers write programs to design and develop computer software. Interviews are highly technical, so come ready to work through coding problems and math brainteasers. The specific questions you are asked will depend on what type of programming position you are looking for. Try researching a specific software discipline such as web development, application development, or system development.
You’re given a board game which is a row of squares, each labeled with an integer. This can be represented by a list, e.g. [1, 3, 2, 0, 5, 2, 8, 4, 1] Given a start position on the board, you “win” by landing on a zero, where you move by jumping from square to square either left or right the number of spaces specified on the square you’re currently on. Your task is to implement the function: def can_win(board, pos): returns True if you can win the board from that starting pos, False otherwise
We have a fairly large log file, about 5GB. Each line of the log file contains an url which a user has visited on our site. We want to figure out what's the most popular 100 urls visited by our users.
given a number as a string write a algorithm to map to its oral description. I.e. "1" -> "11" //this can be thought of as there is one one. "11" -> "21" // there are two ones "21" -> "1211" // there is one two and one one "1211" -> "111221" ect. //there is one one, one two and two ones
How to find the only different number in two unsorted arrays?
You are going to take some numbers as an input from a file. You need to witer a program to find longest increasing sequence. You should process it as soon as you are taking an input. After finishing the last input immediately you should be able to tell the sequence. Input: 1 5 3 4 6 4 Output: 3 4 6
Q: Write a function that can tell if a string is a palindrome regardless of punctuation or capitalization?
A list with a set of integers. All elements appear even number of times while one appear odd number of times. Find this number that appear odd number of times
Design a system for counting how many times an item is clicked on. You need to record clicks and be able to report how many clicks for a given item. Be able to report which items are the most popular. Keep in mind scalability, since this is Amazon we're talking about.
What is the time complexity of your solution?
If we write for(i=0;i<10;i++); printf("%d",i); What will be the output?
