Goldman Sachs Summer Intern Analyst Interview Questions and Answers
6 Interview questions
Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself in order to solve a problem.
Recursion involves breaking down a problem into smaller subproblems and solving them recursively.
A base case is needed to stop the recursion and prevent infinite loops.
Examples of recursive functions include factorial calculation and Fibonacci sequence generation.
Design a system using EC2 instance Fleet on Leetcode platform
Utilize EC2 instance Fleet to manage a group of EC2 instances for scalability and cost-efficiency
Implement load balancing to distribute incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances
Use auto-scaling to automatically adjust the number of EC2 instances based on traffic demand
Monitor system performance and health using CloudWatch metrics and alarms
Swap two numbers using only 2 variables
Use XOR operation to swap two numbers without using a third variable
Example: a = 5, b = 10; a = a ^ b; b = a ^ b; a = a ^ b; // a = 10, b = 5
Quick sort is a popular sorting algorithm that uses divide and conquer strategy.
Divide the array into two sub-arrays based on a pivot element
Recursively sort the sub-arrays
Combine the sorted sub-arrays
What people are saying about Goldman Sachs
Linux scheduler manages background processes using priority levels and time slices for efficient CPU utilization.
Linux uses a Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) for process scheduling.
Background processes typically have lower priority than foreground processes.
CFS allocates CPU time based on process weight, ensuring fairness.
Processes can be run in the background using '&' in the command line.
Example: 'sleep 10 &...
