I got asked an easy too

[coarse cairn]

Title besides from the proofs you had

[opal briar]

the bar is both low and high

[rain lichen]

I almost laughed when i saw two sum pop up on my screen

[opal briar]

the bar is wavy

[vernal sundial]

damn wtf I want an amazon interview

[rain lichen]

Yup, seems they do just ask lc easies i guess

[opal briar]

did you put that you know machine code on your resume or smth

nvm

i thought u said assembly

[rain lichen]

Nah they just wanted to test my cs fundamentals for some reason

Not sure if i answered right but i used my comp arch class knowledge

[lime dragon]

Wtf

I think I forgot how two sum was solved lol

I’ll probably network with recruiters at my school to hopefully skip OAs if I get the chance

[opal briar]

idk if a company like amazon does that

[lime dragon]

I doubt they do

Maybe something smaller like Accenture, visa, kohl ‘s type of stuff

Usually non tech companies

[buoyant ore]

machine code and proving binary search in the same interview
Is this for amazon final? @rain lichen

[rain lichen]

yea

wasnt too bad but it was odd getting asked that

[buoyant ore]

Wdym by machine code tho? Like assembly?

[rain lichen]

machine code is below assembly, it's a sequence of bits 0 and 1

[buoyant ore]

Ah okay I see damn

[opal briar]

two sum in assembly

[lime dragon]

idk any assembly

[crude laurel]

my friend got lru cache

[buoyant ore]

Was he allowed to implement using a dictionary/hashmap or strictly linked list?

[coarse cairn]

I got valid word square

[crude laurel]

doubly linked linked list

[buoyant ore]

Ok that’s a bit harder lol

[opal briar]

how would u do that with just a linked list

[buoyant ore]

Oh I meant to say doubly linked list

Too lazy to type doubly

[opal briar]

how would you do it with just a doubly linked list

[coarse cairn]

Yeah I think for lru cache you need a DLL and a hash map no?

[buoyant ore]

Yeah but if you wanna cheat then you can forget about DLL and just use ordered hashmap in python lol

[opal briar]

thats not going to work in an interview

[buoyant ore]

Yeah ik

[opal briar]

thats cool tho

i would have expected ordered dict to mean sorted

[dusty jetty]

did they provide you an instruction set reference or smth? No way they expect anyone to have memorized the instruction set, unless you're an embedded engineer and it's risc.

[rain lichen]

Nah, i dont think they expected that tho but no clue what answer they were looking for

[wanton hare]

I got two sum last year, solved it and still failed lmao idk

[lime dragon]

Wtf

That’s crazy

Was it exactly like leetcode

[rain lichen]

yea lol and a simple followup

[lime dragon]

Damn them

Manifesting two sum question

That should be my new nickname lol

There

[solar dagger]

What was follow up about specifically?

[rain lichen]

O(1) space complexity for two sum (time does not matter)

[buoyant ore]

Just bruteforce then....right?

[rain lichen]

Nah, i did sorting so its not brute force and then used two pointers
