- 0 Answers Carrer Switch after 1.5 yr experience in Consulting
what about switching from a domain which is more about consulting in finance and trading applications like ENDUR. I have a strong desire to work in a core technical domain like C. i have good programing skills and want to upgrade even better to match the expectation.

How much my work experience will affect in making the switch?| Flag | PURGE - 3 Answers Did I failed in the bloomberg onsite interview? Need help!
Hi all,
- Luiz December 15, 2012
I had a onsite interview with bloomberg yesterday. It was pretty long, around 3.5 hours. I had three rounds. First, 2:1 with some technical questions. Second, another 2:1 with technical questions. The third round is with a senior manager I think. He asked some questions about my resume and some behavior questions.
My biggest concern is that I didn't have a meetting with the HR. Does that mean I failed in the manager interview? I am very worried now and so anxious to know. Thank you very much!

Many programming languages implement scope for variables – and they are context sensitive. For example a global scope variable will be over-ridden using local variable definition. You need to implement simple interpreter which tells us current value of a variable, if its not defined then value should be zero, Input will start with ‘[‘ and will end with matching ‘]’

Hi all,
- naveenkonda89 December 12, 2012
I am currently working in .NET technology, but I wanted to switch to c, c++
My dream is to get an offer from companies like Adode, Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc.,
I have strong command on C and C++ but I don't have real time project experience but very passionate about working in c, c++, data structures and algorithms.
Will these companies look for prior experience in c, c++ or having good command over them with no prior work experience help in getting an offer from Software giants like these?

Consider this sample piece of code!
multiset<int> iends; multiset<int>::iterator et1; while(et1!=iends.end()){ multiset<int>::iterator te=et1; et1++; iends.erase(te); } while(et1!=iends.end()){ multiset<int>::iterator te=et1; iends.erase(te); et1++; }
What is the difference between this two pieces of code?
- Psycho December 09, 2012| Flag | PURGE - 2 Answers common ansestor
I have the book Cracking the Coding Interview Fourth eddition. I have a question about the solution to problem 4.6 (Find first common ansestor of two nodes in a binary tree). The solution ends up suggesting some round about way to see if both nodes are on the same side of a given node and what not. It's pretty confusing. But why not just do a depth first search for each of the nodes. Once node is found, record the path back to the root as the recurstion stack unwids. What's the advantage of the complicatd solution offered by your book over this?

Hi,
- commercial.eddie December 08, 2012
My friend has recently interviewed with Google. During one of the on-site interviews he was given the following question:
On a Cartesian coordinate system we draw a Bar chart. You can assume that the height of each bar is a natural value. Give an algorithm finding the rectangle of maximum area, bound by the diagram and the x axis. With n being the number of bars, you should do significantly better than O(n^2).
My friend was unable to answer this question, and after we analyzed it at home the only way we could find for meeting the time complexity requirements, is to use a k-d tree\Interval tree data structure for keeping coordinates. These are not basic data structures; They're nearly never discussed during undergraduate studies, and the careercup book doesn't cover this type of questions. Is there a trivial solution we've been missing? Or is it that if I ever interview with Google I should expected to be asked on topics I don't have a chance to be prepared for? This is not what "Cracking the coding interview" is implying.

I applied for a position at Amazon. I regularly check for the status for the application. Well, much to my surprise, I got a status "under review" for the position, instead of "reviewed, not selected". My question is, how long does it take for them to actually review? I am soo curious! And it has been a couple of days that my status is still "under reviewed".

Hi,
- monadnik November 29, 2012
can anyone please suggest good sources/books to get prepared for the interview questions about system design/scalability/system architecture. It does not necessarily has to be resources about preparing, but something that that develops good intuition about possible problems/pitfalls/approaches would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!| Flag | PURGE - 2 Answers Dynamic programming problem.
Say there are n identical balls and a bag, I want to put these ball in the bag and take them out in different possible ways (one ball can only be put into the bag once). For example, there are two balls, then the different ways are IOIO, IIOO (I means putting in, and O means taking out, you can't do like OOII, OIOI etc.). Find the number of ways of doing this with n identical balls.

Think a recurrence relation needed for a dynamic programming algorithm. (Time is O(n^2))
I think the answer can be like below, but I work out this answer in a unprofessional way. So, I am still confused about this problem. Can you kindly explain this for me or do you have another answer?
S[i, j] = S[i, j-1] (if i = j)
S[i, j] = S[i, j-1] + S[i-1, j] (if i > j)
S[i, j] = 1 (if j = 0)
Here 'i' is the number of 'I's and 'j' is the number of 'O's.| Flag | PURGE - 2 Answers Python question
