AMAZON:
Hi friends, I attended first round of the interviews held by Amazon.com.
First they introduced themselves and then asked for my introduction and about my internships and projects.
Then they asked me a programming question related to Binary tree. The question was something like they asked me to point every node at one level to the node to the right of it.
They asked the logic And time complexity for the program. Once they were satisfied with it they asked me to write a procedure for that.
They were mainly asking challenging questions on data structures and were looking for persons who can write optimized and scaled programs

1. Find an element in the array following the condition a[i] =i.
int arr[] = {0,1,3,5}
output = 0 0r 1
2. Find out elements which is not duplicate in the given array.
Int arr[] = {1,3,5,7,1,3,5}
Output = 7
3.write a function that returns the element which is having maximum occourance in the given string
Char input_str [] = "the things are thin"
So it will returns "t" as it's occourance is 3 times.
4. Algorithm
5. How to rename all the files at the given directory from .jpg to .jpeg.
6. Write a script which reverse the given string x = "the pen is mine" the output is mine is pen the.
7. I want to delete a file in 1000 hosts.1000 host names are provided.
8. Copy a a file form one host "amazon.chennai" to another host "anazon.bbsr"

INTERVIEW : Amazon interview questions
Given a Binary Search Tree, write a program to print the kth smallest element without using any static/global variable. You can?t pass the value k to any function also.
What are the 4 basics of OOP?
Define Data Abstraction. What is its importance?
Given an array of size n. It contains numbers in the range 1 to n. Each number is present at least once except for 2 numbers. Find the missing numbers.
Given an array of size n. It contains numbers in the range 1 to n. Find the numbers which aren?t present.
Given a string,find the first un-repeated character in it? Give some test cases
You are given a dictionary of all valid words. You have the following 3 operations permitted on a word: delete a character, insert a character, replace a character. Now given two words - word1 and word2 - find the minimum number of steps required to convert word1 to word2. (one operation counts as 1 step.)
Given a cube of size n*n*n (i.e made up of n^3 smaller cubes), find the number of smaller cubes on the surface. Extend this to k-dimension.
What is a C array and illustrate the how is it different from a list.
What is the time and space complexities of merge sort and when is it preferred over quick sort?
Write a function which takes as parameters one regular expression(only ? and * are the special characters) and a string and returns whether the string matched the regular expression.
Given n red balls and m blue balls and some containers, how would you distribute those balls among the containers such that the probability of picking a red ball is maximized, assuming that the user randomly chooses a container and then randomly picks a ball from that.
Find the second largest element in an array with minimum no of comparisons and give the minimum no of comparisons needed on an array of size N to do the same.
Given an array of size n, containing every element from 1 to n+1, except one. Find the missing element.
How do you convert a decimal number to its hexa-decimal equivalent.Give a C code to do the same
Explain polymorphism. Provide an example.
Given an array all of whose elements are positive numbers, find the maximum sum of a subsequence with the constraint that no 2 numbers in the sequence should be adjacent in the array. So 3 2 7 10 should return 13 (sum of 3 and 10) or 3 2 5 10 7 should return 15 (sum of 3, 5 and 7)
You are given some denominations of coins in an array (int denom[])and infinite supply of all of them. Given an amount (int amount), find the minimum number of coins required to get the exact amount. What is the method called?
Given an array of size n. It contains numbers in the range 1 to n. Each number is present at least once except for 1 number. Find the missing number.

Amazon India latest placement paper for 2007 :
[ Amazon - US major internet based seller of books, CDs, DVDs and lots other stuff ]
See 2008 sample placement papers and technical / hr interview questions in future here for freshers / walkins, BPO, call centre, back office function job exam.
Written test.
They concentrate on every field of computer science. They asked c, data structure, TOC(context free and context sensitive grammar, regular languages. DBMS unix was not there.
There were two subjective questions.
1. The first one was "given two lists write a function which returns a list which is the intersection of the two lists.the original lists should remain same.
(Intersection - if first list is say,1,20 3,45 and second list is 3,24 ,45,90,68 then intersection should be 3,45 )
2. The second was given two nodes of a binary tree find the closest ancestor of the two nodes.
Note:consider binary tree and binary search tree also.
In short answer type questions, the questions were -
1.There was an aptitude's question in which P(A) and P(B) were given and we had to find P(B/A) and P(A/B) when A and B are independent events.
2.What is the probability that the the 4 digit's no. which is formed by using the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6 is divisible by 4.
3.What tree traversal gives the no. in sorted order.Inorder,preorder or postorder ?
4.Preorder and inorder traversal was given and we had to find the tree.
5. Which sorting algorithm takes best and worst time complexity as O(nlogn)?
6.A dbms query was asked to find the second largest no. of book sold.(i don't remember the question exactly)
What is Your Opinion?
What do you think about the Expereince ? Any tips/suggestions ?
They emphasised especially on Data Structures specially trees and sorting.
Basically study the Amazon profile and prove that you can be a good web programmer or perfect for back office technical problem handling job. Good Luck for your exam.
General Information about Amazon:
Amazon is one of the largest internet based sellers. Amazon.com has a very popular affiliate program using which people can sell amazon's goods on thier stores using just automatic targeting codes from amazon. Many people run and advertise their specific categories Amazon powered stores where everything is handled by amazon and the people handle on the promotion / getting customers part. Sales and checkout is handled by amazon itself. This was a little about amazon's affiliate set up. But Amazon is the most popular place about buying books, cds, dvds online in US, UK, Europe and even india.
