Google Interview Questions & Answers

Q: Given a binary tree, return the nodes visible from the right side.

A: Do a level order traversal and take the last node you see at each depth. A depth-first walk that visits the right child first and records the first node found per depth works just as well.

Answer by AI
  • Breadth-first: push the root, process one level at a time, and append the final node of each level to the result.
  • Depth-first alternative: recurse into the right child before the left, and record a node only when its depth exceeds the result length so far.
  • Both run in O(n) time. BFS uses O(w) space for the widest level, DFS uses O(h) stack space.

Q: Implement an LRU cache with constant-time operations.

A: Pair a hash map with a doubly linked list. The map gives O(1) lookup to a node, and the list keeps recency order so you can move a node to the front or drop the tail in constant time.

Answer by AI
  • Hash map keys point to list nodes so get is O(1). Each node stores key, value and both pointers.
  • On get, unlink the node and re-insert it at the head. On put, insert at the head and evict the tail node when capacity is exceeded, deleting its key from the map too.
  • Use sentinel head and tail nodes to remove edge-case branching, and mention locking or a sharded design if the interviewer pushes on concurrency.

Q: Calculate how much rainwater can be trapped between elevation bars given an elevation map.

A: Water above any bar is the smaller of the tallest bar to its left and the tallest to its right, minus the bar's own height. Two pointers moving inward compute this in one pass.

Answer by AI
  • Brute force is O(n squared): for each index scan both sides for the max. Say this first, then improve on it.
  • Prefix and suffix max arrays bring it to O(n) time with O(n) space.
  • Two pointers from both ends, always advancing the side with the smaller wall while tracking leftMax and rightMax, gets O(n) time and O(1) space.

Q: Print the first non-repeated character from a string with minimum time complexity.

A: Count every character in one pass, then walk the string again and return the first one whose count is 1. That's O(n) time and O(k) space for the alphabet size.

Answer by AI
  • Pass one fills a frequency map, or a fixed 256-slot array if the charset is bounded.
  • Pass two scans the original string in order and returns the first character with frequency 1, preserving input order.
  • An insertion-ordered map does it with one structure. Clarify Unicode handling and whether case matters before you code.
