Practice real Amazon questions and get instant AI feedback before the real thing.
Q: Given a digit string from 2-9, return all letter combinations the digits could represent based on a phone keypad mapping.
A: Map each digit to its keypad letters, then use backtracking to build every combination one character at a time. The result count is the product of the letter groups.
Q: Given a number of courses and an array of prerequisites, return whether you can finish all courses (cycle detection in a directed graph).
A: Model courses as a directed graph and check for a cycle. If a topological order exists, every course can be finished; a cycle means it can't.
Q: Design a parking lot system, accounting for multiple levels and vehicle sizes.
A: Start with the core objects (lot, levels, spots by size, vehicles, tickets), then define how spots get allocated and freed. Talk through availability tracking and pricing before edge cases.
Q: Design an A/B experimentation platform: a service to set up experiments, an assignment service that splits traffic, a streaming service for metrics, and manual overrides so QA can force specific users into a variant.
A: Break it into experiment config, deterministic assignment, metrics streaming, and an override layer. Keep assignment consistent per user and make metrics collection asynchronous.
