AMD coding and DSA questions
- 01
Lowest Common Ancestor in Binary Tree
Given a binary tree and two nodes, find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of the two nodes.

- 02
Sort an Array Containing 0s and 1s
Given an array consisting only of 0s and 1s, sort the array so that all 0s appear before all 1s.

- 03
Implement LRU Cache
Design and implement an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache that supports get(key) and put(key, value) operations, both in O(1) time complexity. The cache should evict the least recently used item when it reaches capacity.

- 04
Linked List Insert After
Given a singly linked list, implement a function insertAfter(int afterVal, int val) that inserts a new node with value val immediately after the node containing afterVal. If afterVal is not found, output an appropriate message.

- 05
Predict Output of Overriding Example
Given a base class and a derived class where the derived class overrides a method (virtual or non‑virtual), determine the program's output and explain why the output occurs.

- 06
Effect of Deleting Base Class without Virtual Destructor
Explain what happens when a derived class object is deleted through a base class pointer that does not have a virtual destructor.

- 07
LRU Cache Concept
Explained the concept and working of an LRU (Least Recently Used) Cache.

- 08
Producer-Consumer with Dynamically Sized Circular Queue
Implement a producer-consumer system using a circular queue of initial size 10. The core challenge is to dynamically adjust the queue size to accommodate varying loads: typically 7-8 elements, but occasionally up to 500 elements without data loss.

- 09
Coin Change Problem (Dynamic Programming)
A classic dynamic programming problem where the goal is typically to find the minimum number of coins needed to make a certain amount or the number of ways to make the amount from a given set of coin denominations.
- 10
Stock Price Variation: Sell First, Then Buy
A problem involving stock price variations that requires a reverse logic challenge, where the candidate needs to develop a strategy or algorithm assuming a sell operation precedes a buy operation, contrary to typical stock problems.
AMD behavioural and HR questions
- 01
AI Usage in Work (Behavioral)
Discuss where and how you use AI in your work and the extent of its usage.
