Tip

Tip 1 : Interview is more like a two-way discussion rather than a question-answer session, feel free to ask for help/hints if you're stuck. 
Tip 2 : Even if you don't know the solution to the problem just try to work out a naive solution. You can optimize it later. 
Tip 3 : Make sure to read out the interview experiences of other people who have applied for the same role/company in the past

Two coding questions.

1. Cycle Detection In Undirected Graph

AmazonAdobeSamsung

You have been given an undirected graph with 'N' vertices and 'M' edges. The vertices are labelled from 1 to 'N'.

Your task is to find if the graph contains a cycle or not.

A path that starts from a given vertex and ends at the same vertex traversing the edges only once is called a cycle.

Example :

In the below graph, there exists a cycle between vertex 1, 2 and 3. 

Example

Note:

1. There are no parallel edges between two vertices.

2. There are no self-loops(an edge connecting the vertex to itself) in the graph.

3. The graph can be disconnected.

For Example :

Input: N = 3 , Edges =  [[1, 2], [2, 3], [1, 3]].
Output: Yes

Explanation : There are a total of 3 vertices in the graph. There is an edge between vertex 1 and 2, vertex 2 and 3 and vertex 1 and 3. So, there exists a cycle in the graph.

You are given a 2-dimensional array/list having N rows and M columns, which is filled with ones(1) and zeroes(0). 1 signifies land, and 0 signifies water.

A cell is said to be connected to another cell, if one cell lies immediately next to the other cell, in any of the eight directions (two vertical, two horizontal, and four diagonals).

A group of connected cells having value 1 is called an island. Your task is to find the number of such islands present in the matrix.

You are given a string 'str' of length 'N'. You can perform at most 'k' operations on this string. In one operation, you can choose any character of the string and change it to any other uppercase English alphabet character.


Return the length of the longest substring containing same characters after performing the above operations.


For example :

Input:
str="AABC"  k=1

Output:3

Explanation: Replace 'B' with 'A', we will get "AAAC" and the longest substring with same character is "AAA" of length 3.

One hour HR round.
Also called Core Values Interview.
The Interviewer was a senior level employee and was very friendly.

1. Resume based questions

Problem approach

You should know everything you have mentioned in your resume. I you are not confident about a topic, don't mention it on your resume.

2. Behavioural Questions

Problem approach

I would advise you to look up the most commonly asked behavioral questions in the interview and the STAR method to approach these types of questions.

Do not mug up answers to these questions, but instead come up with your own situations that you dealt with while doing internships/projects etc.

For questions like "Tell me about your weakness or Tell me about a time you messed up" do not say I don't have any weaknesses or I never mess up. Everyone makes mistakes, the key to this question is to not focus on the mistake/weakness but instead focus on how you overcame it and what you learnt from it.

Here's your problem of the day

Solving this problem will increase your chance to get selected in this company
