My Interview experience with Amazon for SDE 2 Role

Round 1: Problem Solving and LP's

  1. Given an array of integers and a number x. FInd the minimum length of the subarray with a sum greater than the given value of x.
    Input array: {1,4,45,6,0,19}, x = 51, Output = 3

  2. Given an array of strings words(without duplicate), return all the concatenated words in the given list of words. A concatenated word is basically a string which comprise entirely of at least two shorter words (not necessarily distinct) in the given array.

    Example 1:
    Input: words={"cat","cats","catsdogcats", "dog", "dogcatsdog", "hippopotamases","rat","ratcatdogcat"}
    Output: {"catsdogcats", "dogcatsdog", "ratcatdogcat"}
    Explanation: "catsdogcats" can be concatenated by "cats", "dog" and "cats";
    "dogcatsdog" can be concatenated by "dog", "cats" and "dog";
    "ratcatdogcat" can be concatenated by "rat", "cat", "dog" and "cat";

    No LP's was asked as the coding part took more time then expected.
