It was already night time till this interview started because all the three interview rounds were held on the same day. This was not a DS+Algorithms round. He first asked me to introduce myself. So I started by telling what all I have done in my college up till now and then I told him about my internship experience at myKaarma which just ended few days back. There was around 10-15 minutes discussion on what I was working on in my intern project.

Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI completed Computer Science Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi. I applied for the job as SDE - Intern in BangaloreEligibility criteria8 CGPAUber interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Data Structures, Algorithms, Operating Systems, OOP, some basics of DBMS but I don't feel it was much required for an intern role interviewTime required to prepare for the interview - 2-3 monthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Try to learn DS+Algorithms from the basics in the starting phase of your preparation. Though, in the later stages of the preparation, some cramming can be employed for the problems generally asked in the interviews (but that too with proper understanding)
Tip 2 : Don't forget to prepare topics like OS and OOP. Although I was not asked much about these topics but my friends were asked some questions from these topics. These topics can be prepared in 2-3 days from YouTube itself.
Tip 3 : For an intern role interview, 2-3 projects including the college projects should be enough. You should be prepared to explain your project answer the basic questions like the approach which you followed, the problems you faced during the project, etc. 
Tip 4 : If possible you can have a prior intern experience as well, but one thing for sure, preparing DS+Algorithms is much more important than this.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Writing things which you don't know about properly won't give you much benefit. Rather, they can get you into problem if asked about them.
Tip 2 : Writing much about the things like extra curricular activities in the resume for software roles don't give you much benefit in my opinion. Though I wrote 2-3 PORs which had.
Tip 3 : Trying to make your resume longer unnecessarily won't give you any benefit.

  • Q1. 

    Remove Duplicates from a Sorted Linked List

    Your friend has homework to complete. Help him by removing duplicates from a sorted linked list.

    You are given the 'Head' of a sorted linked list. Modify the l...

  • Ans. 

    Remove duplicates from a sorted linked list without adjacent duplicates.

    • Traverse the linked list while comparing current and next nodes.

    • If they are equal, skip the next node by updating the current node's next pointer.

    • Repeat until the end of the list is reached.

    Course Schedule Problem Statement

    You are enrolled as a student and must complete N courses, numbered from 1 to N, to earn your degree.

    Some courses have prerequisites, which means that to take course i,...

  • Ans. 

    Check if it is feasible to complete all courses with prerequisites.

    • Create a graph representing the prerequisites with courses as nodes and edges as prerequisites.

    • Perform a topological sort on the graph to check if there is a cycle (if there is, then it's not feasible to complete all courses).

    • If there is no cycle, then it is feasible to complete all courses.

This round had only 1 question. The interviewer introduced himself. And he advised me to clearly understand the problem before proceeding.

  • Q1. 

    LCA of Binary Tree Problem Statement

    You are given a binary tree of distinct integers, along with two nodes, ‘X’ and ‘Y’. Your task is to determine the Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) of ‘X’ and ‘Y’.

    The LC...

  • Ans. 

    Find the Lowest Common Ancestor of two nodes in a binary tree.

    • Traverse the binary tree to find the paths from the root to nodes X and Y.

    • Compare the paths to find the last common node, which is the Lowest Common Ancestor.

    • Implement a recursive function to efficiently find the LCA.

    • Handle cases where one node is an ancestor of the other.

    • Consider edge cases like when X or Y is the root node.

  • Ans. 

    Design and implement a class BSTIterator to perform in-order traversal over a Binary Search Tree (BST).

    • Implement a parameterized constructor to initialize the iterator with the root of the BST.

    • Implement a method 'next()' to return the next smallest element in in-order traversal.

    • Implement a method 'hasNext()' to check if there exists a next smallest element in traversal.

    • Ensure the output is the in-order traversal of the

    Maximum Consecutive Ones Problem Statement

    Given a binary array 'ARR' of size 'N', your task is to determine the maximum length of a sequence consisting solely of 1’s that can be obtained by converting at...

  • Ans. 

    Find the maximum length of a sequence of 1's by converting at most K zeroes into ones in a binary array.

    • Iterate through the array and keep track of the current window of 1's and zeroes.

    • Use a sliding window approach to find the maximum length of consecutive 1's by flipping at most K zeroes.

    • Update the window based on the number of zeroes flipped and keep track of the maximum length found so far.

    • Return the maximum length ...

    BFS in Graph Problem Statement

    You are given an undirected and disconnected graph G(V, E) having V vertices numbered from 0 to V-1 and E edges. Your task is to print its BFS traversal starting from the 0t...

  • Ans. 

    BFS traversal of an undirected and disconnected graph starting from vertex 0.

    • Start BFS traversal from vertex 0 and visit all connected nodes in sorted order.

    • Use a queue to keep track of nodes to visit next.

    • Keep a visited array to avoid revisiting nodes.

    • Print the BFS traversal path as the nodes are visited.

    • Example: For input V=5, E=4 and edges 0-1, 0-2, 1-3, 2-4, the BFS traversal will be [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].

  • Ans. 

    Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the shortest path distance from a source node to all other nodes in an undirected graph.

    • Implement Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path distance from node 0 to all other nodes in the graph.

    • Use a priority queue to efficiently select the next node with the shortest distance.

    • Initialize distances to all nodes as infinity, except for the source node which is 0.

Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI applied for the job as SDE - 1 in BangaloreEligibility criteriaNo criteriaAmazon interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Linked Lists, Trees, BFS, DFS, Backtracking, Graphs.Time required to prepare for the interview - 3 monthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Practice at least 250 Questions, Give yourself enough time for preparation. Cramming won't take you very far. In books, I really liked Elements of Programming Interviews. 
Tip 2 : Make sure to brush up your basics - coding style, OOPs, Language features. They help in making an impression.
Tip 3 : Don't worry about solving the question in the interview. Learn to tackle any random problem with the best of your ability. More often than not, that'd be enough.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Keep your resume clean - no graphics, no multiple fonts. Keep it one page.
Tip 2 : Don't go over board in mentioning skills, only mention the things you are truly confident about.
