Hi,

I attended amazon interview on October 17th in Bangalore. I would like to share my experience and the interview questions.

I round was online written technical test.

-There were 20 MCQ and 2 programming questions -Each correct answer carried 1 mark and -0.25 for a wrong answer

-Programming questions were,

1. Write a program to find the difference between the sum of nodes at odd height and the sum of nodes at even height.

2. Given an array of integers representing coin values and the sum required. find the number of coins required to get the sum.

4 Technical rounds.

-Various programming questions related to data structures were asked -Each round was an elimination round

-Questions asked were,

1. Write a program to traverse the tree in spiral form in O(n) time.(Hint:use two stacks) 2. Program to implement atoi function

3. Program to swap the k th node from end and kth node from front 4. Program to find loops in linked list 5. Find the maximum length palindrome in a string 6. Difference between process and thread 7. Advantages and disadvantages of thread and process 8. Test cases for checking binary tree 9. Test case for atoi function 10. Test cases for finding loops in the single linked list

-Each technical round was for 60-90 minute duration -There was no HR round ============================================== =================================== HYDERABAD INTERVIEW AND QUESTIONS I experienced for TAM process and Customer care associate. Go to Amazon.com First of all, research all info you can on Amazon processings.

Interview process is 1. Personal Introduction round (PIR)

3. Navigation round (about 20 questions)

Using Amazon.com you can answer them. The thing is you should be able to categorize the product.

4. Operations round (HR)

Here they will check your confident level.

Somehow, sometimes, they also conduct test to check typing speed, Mocking chat. ============================================== ============================================== AMAZON PAPER ,HYDERABAD Hi Friends

5.What is the wrong in this program main() { char *p,*q; p=(char *)malloc(25); q=(char*) malloc(25); strcpy(p,"amazon" ); strcpy(q,"hyd"); strcat(p,q); printf("%s",p); }

6. Write prefix and post fix notation for (a+b)*c-(d+e)^(f-g)

7. What is the output of the program main() { int i=5; printf("%d",fun(fun(fun(fun( fun(i)))))); } void fun (int i) { if(i%2) return (i+(7*4)-(5/2)+(2*2)); else return (i+(17/5)-(34/15)+(5/2)); }

8. When it is always true boolean fun (node *p) { return ((p==null)||(p->next==null)|| (p->info<=p->next->info)&&( fun(p>next))); } a) when list is empty or has one node b) when the ele are sorted in non decreasing order c) when the ele are sorted in non increasing order
