Interview questions [1]
Question 1
leetcode medium-hard questions.
to solve it on a sheet of paper. i did not have to code on any machine
I attended an SDE 1 interview at Amazon. The interviewer focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. I explained my approach clearly, optimized my solution, answered behavioral questions, and gained valuable interview experience.
Asked for intro, then 2 dsa question and 1 question on lp. Explain your thought process and start with brute force dry run it explain its tc and sc and theb jump on to optimised solution
The first step is OA. Which I have failed. The questions seemed to me a bit different from the typical LeetCode. But if you follow the patterns, you can solve it.
