“You have all of the prices for a given stock for the next year. You can buy once and sell once in that year. How do you determine when to buy and sell to maximize your profit?”
3 antwoorden↳
That answer does not work if the lowest price occurs _after_ the highest price. You have to evaluate the difference in price for each combination of days and find out which one results in the highest gain. You always assume that for whichever day you buy, the sell date will be _after_ that date. So you compare day 1 with days 2-365 and find the max gain for those combinations. Then you do the same for a buy on day 2, 3...etc. You'll end up with 364 max value date pairs. Now sort for the highest and use that combination for your best gain. Too bad it doesn't work that way in real life :) Minder

They were interviewing using my resume. The technical lead also asked count the number of set bits in a word. He also asked about different scheduling algorithms for the OS. That was difficult for me since I had not done a whole lot of memorizing about theory.

Depending on the architecture, x86 has 32 bit words, x64 64 bits. A few job scheduling algorithms are First in First out, Shortest Job First, and Round Robin. Minder
The system design question was way out of my league, I am an interviewing for an embedded engineering position, instead I was asked to design a distributed network-based system. None of that applies to my domain and none of my experience helps me answer that question.

The system design interview was all over the place, I can't believe I was asked to design a system without being given any constraints, goals and limited resources. I have no idea how I did on this, probably very poorly. Minder
