Qualcomm Interview Questions & Answers
Q: How would you detect a loop in a linked list and find its length?
A: Use slow and fast pointers to detect a meeting point, then keep one pointer fixed and count a full cycle.
Answer by AI
- Explain why the pointers meet.
- Handle the no-cycle case.
- State linear time and constant space.
Q: How would you find the intersection of two linked lists?
A: Use two pointers that switch list heads after reaching the end so both traverse equal combined distances.
Answer by AI
- Clarify identity versus equal values.
- Cover the no-intersection case.
- State the complexity.
Q: How would you find duplicate values in an array?
A: First clarify memory and value constraints, then choose a set, sorting or an in-place indexing method and explain the tradeoff.
Answer by AI
- Ask about constraints.
- Compare time and space.
- Cover repeated duplicates.
Q: What is the difference between a mutex and a semaphore?
A: A mutex provides ownership-based mutual exclusion, while a semaphore tracks permits and can coordinate access to multiple resources.
Answer by AI
- Define ownership.
- Give one use case for each.
- Mention binary semaphores carefully.
