Question Overview: This question is designed to test a candidate's knowledge of data structures and their ability to implement them.
Sample Answer: I would create a class called Stack that would have two private variables: a pointer to the top of the stack and an integer that represents the number of items in the stack. The constructor would take two parameters: the number of items in the stack and the pointer to the top of the stack. The push() method would take a single parameter, which is the item to be added to the stack. The pop() method would take no parameters and return an item from the stack. The min() function would take no parameters and return an integer representing the minimum value in the stack.
Question Overview: This question is designed to test the candidate's problem-solving skills and their ability to think outside the box.
Sample Answer: I would first try to find the highest value that the first number could be. Then I would try to find the lowest value that the second number could be. Then I would try to find a range of values for both numbers that would sum to the target value.
Question Overview: This question is designed to see how well a candidate can communicate outside of their professional life. It also gives you insight into what they do for fun and how they spend their free time.

Question Overview: This is a basic coding question that tests the candidate's knowledge of the most common string functions.
Sample Answer: I would use a for loop to iterate through each character in the string and use a switch statement to check if the character is a letter or not. If it is a letter, I would add it to the end of the reversed string, and if it isn't, I would add a space to the end of the reversed string.
Question Overview: This question is designed to see how well a candidate can think through a problem, and how they would implement a solution.
Sample Answer: A least recently used cache is a cache that stores the least recently used items in memory. This is useful for applications that have a lot of traffic and need to keep the most frequently accessed items in memory. The first step in designing a LRU cache is to determine what data structure you will use to store the items. I would use a hash table with a size of 2^n, where n is the number of items in the cache. The next step is to determine how you will determine if an item is least recently used. I would use a timestamp on each item in the cache, and then use that timestamp to determine if an item was least recently used.
Question Overview: This question tests a candidate's ability to think through a problem and come up with a solution.
Sample Answer: I would start by drawing a map of the current Amazon locations. Then I would look at the map and try to find patterns in where they are located. I would then try to find a pattern in the new proposed locations and see if there is a way to optimize the placement of new stores.
Question Overview: This question is designed to test a candidate's creativity and problem-solving skills.
Sample Answer: I would start by brainstorming a list of all the different card games I know and the rules that go along with them. I would then try to think of ways to combine the rules of different games into one game. I would also need to think about how many players the game should support and what kind of game pieces would be needed.
Question Overview: This question is designed to test a candidate's problem-solving skills and how well they can think on their feet.
Sample Answer: I would start by writing a function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 10. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 100. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 1000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 10000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 100000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 1000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 10000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 100000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 1000000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 10000000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 100000000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 1000000000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 10000000000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 100000000000000. Then I would write another function that would take a number and return the number multiplied by 1000000000000000. Then
Question Overview: This question is designed to see what projects the candidate has worked on and how they've contributed to the project.
Sample Answer: I've worked on a number of projects in my career, including building a web-based email client, an online shopping cart, and a web-based accounting system.

Question Overview: This question is designed to test a candidate's knowledge of C and C++.
Sample Answer: A reference is an alias for another variable. It is not a copy of the variable, so any changes made to the reference will affect the original variable. A pointer is a memory address that stores the memory address of another variable. It is a copy of the variable, so any changes made to the pointer will not affect the original variable.
Question Overview: This question is designed to test an applicant's knowledge of data structures and algorithms.
Sample Answer: I would use a binary search tree or a hash table to find the kth most frequent word in a string. I would use a binary search tree because it is more efficient than a hash table.
Question Overview: This question tests a candidate's knowledge of basic programming concepts.
Sample Answer: Pass-by-value means that a variable is copied into the function and any changes made to the variable in the function do not affect the original variable. Pass-by-reference means that a variable is not copied into the function and any changes made to the variable in the function do affect the original variable.
Question Overview: Polymorphism is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming. It's important for a candidate to understand this concept and be able to explain it in their own words.
Sample Answer: Polymorphism is the ability to use the same method name on different types of objects and have the method behave differently depending on the type of object it is being called on. For example, if you have a method called "print", you can call that method on an integer object and it will print out the value of that integer. You can also call that method on a string object and it will print out the value of that string.
Question Overview: This question is designed to see how well the candidate can apply their skills from their previous job to the job they're applying for.
