Software Development Engineer I Interview Questions

1,214 software development engineer i interview questions shared by candidates

In First Interview : They asked some data structure related question, Gave a problems to write program, Que : There is a 9 digit number, you need to rearrange the number and make just bigger number then this one.(That means next bigger number than this one) (solution involve pivot element, you may find solution on google) Que : There are 9 buckets,Each bucket contains some chocolates(number of chocolates labeld on the bucket), a kid is there, He takes 1 second to eat all the chocolates of 1 bucket and as puts the bucket back, bucket gets filled again with the half chocolate then the original bucket had. kid has n second, find a way in which he can eat max chocolate in n seconds. In second Interview : Que 1 : They asked to write a code to get mirror image of BST. Que 2 : If we have a linked list, and if i give you a number n, Then first n node of the linklist should get reversed next n node should as it is, next n should get reversed like wise. Eg : if i give you 3, then first 3 node should get reversed and next 3 should remain as it is, next 3 should get reversed. need to write a logic for this. NO NEED TO MENTION : all logic written should be best optimized wrt time and space.

I was really taken off guard by the depth of which my last interviewer went into with questions related to algorithms. The questions seemed to be less about design and best practices and more about theory. Needless to say I wasn't prepared and this part didn't go so well.
