Software Engineer Data Interview Questions

664,760 software engineer data interview questions shared by candidates

1. Phone interview - Sort the characters in string by frequency and then by their alphabetical order. Example - bbaaccc -> cccaabb 2. The question that screwed me - given array is [0,1,1,0,1,1,1] ; output should be [0,1,1,0,1,2,3] ie., for every non-zero element in array, find its distance to the nearest zero in O(n) time. i would definitely encourage the candidates who read this post to share their solution for this question. 3. In order traversal of Binary search tree related (the solution is to start from right sub tree).

If your are given an Integer Singly linked list. Print it backwards. Constraints: 1. Do not manipulate the list. (example: do not make it a doubly linked list, do not add or delete elements, do not change any memory location of any element) 2. O(n) < time < O(n^2) 3. O(1) < space < O(n)

Phone interview question # 1: Given an array (for example, [ 1, 0, 2, 0, 0, 3, 4 ]), implement methods that 1. returns the number of non-zero elements (4) 2. moves the non-zero elements to the beginning of the array (the rest of the elements don't matter) -> both [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0] and [ 4, 1, 3, 2, X, Y, Z ] are valid
