A Software Engineer IV was asked 8mo ago
Q. What is the difference between processes and threads?
Ans. 

Processes are independent instances of a program, while threads are smaller units within a process sharing resources.

  • Processes have their own memory space, while threads share the same memory space within a process.

  • Processes are heavyweight, while threads are lightweight.

  • Processes communicate with each other through inter-process communication mechanisms, while threads can communicate directly.

  • Example: A web brows...

A Software Engineer was asked 12mo ago
Q. Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the number of non-empty subarrays that have a sum divisible by k.
Ans. 

Find the number of subarrays whose sum is divisible by K.

  • Use prefix sum technique to calculate the sum of subarrays efficiently.

  • Keep track of the remainders of prefix sums when divided by K.

  • Use a hashmap to store the count of each remainder.

  • For each prefix sum, check how many previous prefix sums have the same remainder.

  • Add the count of subarrays with the same remainder to the total count.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given an array, how do you find the elements that sum up to a given number?
Ans. 

Find elements in array that sum up to given number

  • Use a nested loop to iterate through each pair of elements in the array

  • Check if the sum of the pair equals the given number

  • Return the pair of elements if found, otherwise continue iterating

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given a sorted array of integers, write a function that uses binary search with recursion to find the index of a target value. If the target value is not found in the array, return -1.
Ans. 

Binary search is an efficient algorithm for finding an item from a sorted list using recursion.

  • Binary search works on sorted arrays only.

  • It divides the search interval in half each time.

  • Base case: If the element is found or the interval is empty.

  • Example: Searching for 5 in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] returns index 4.

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. Check if a binary tree is BST?
  • Ans. 

    Check if a binary tree is a Binary Search Tree (BST) by validating the inorder traversal.

    • Perform an inorder traversal of the binary tree and store the elements in a list.

    • Check if the list is sorted in ascending order. If yes, then the binary tree is a BST.

    • Ensure that there are no duplicate elements in the binary tree.

  • Q2. Question: Modified version of flatten linked list (-----.geeksforgeeks.org/flattening-a-linked-list/amp/). The variation is that the nodes in second and third levels also have next nodes.
  • Ans. 

    Flatten a multi-level linked list where nodes have next pointers at all levels.

    • Each node has a value, a next pointer, and a child pointer to another linked list.

    • The goal is to flatten the list into a single-level linked list.

    • Example: Given 1 -> 2 -> 3, where 2 has a child 4 -> 5, the result should be 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 5 -> 3.

    • Use a stack to traverse and flatten the list iteratively or recursively.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Convert the linked list 1,2,3,4,5,6,Null into 1,6,2,5,3,4,Null
  • Ans. 

    Reorder a linked list by alternating between the first and last elements

    • Create two pointers, one at the beginning and one at the end of the linked list

    • Iterate through the linked list, moving the first pointer to the next node and the second pointer to the previous node

    • Adjust the pointers to reorder the linked list by alternating between the first and last elements
