Software Engineer Interview Questions

I Software engineer scrivono i programmi per progettare e sviluppare software informatici. I colloqui sono prettamente tecnici, quindi preparati ad affrontare problemi di programmazione e rompicapi matematici. Le domande specifiche che ti saranno poste dipenderanno dal tipo di posizione che stai cercando nell'ambito della programmazione. Prova a fare le dovute ricerche su una disciplina software specifica, come lo sviluppo si siti web, di applicazioni o di sistemi.

Domande tipiche dei colloqui per Software engineer e come rispondere

Question 1

Domanda 1: Come descriveresti il tuo processo di programmazione?

How to answer
Come rispondere: Nel rispondere a una domanda sul processo o ciclo di vita per lo sviluppo e la progettazione di un software, è utile descrivere tutti i passaggi, a partire dall'ottenimento dei requisiti per il prodotto finale. Includi quanti più dettagli possibile per dare all'intervistatore maggiori informazioni su eventuali lavori svolti in qualità di Software engineer e su come hai gestito gli incarichi, così da dimostrare che sei in grado di affrontare un progetto dall'inizio alla fine.
Question 2

Domanda 2: Quali linguaggi di programmazione conosci e preferisci?

How to answer
Come rispondere: L'intervistatore vuole sapere quali linguaggi di programmazione conosci meglio e quali preferisci. Non esiste una risposta giusta o sbagliata a questa domanda, il cui scopo è invece ottenere informazioni approfondite sulle tue capacità e competenze di programmazione. Se nell'offerta di lavoro per la quale ti stai candidando sono indicate preferenze per dei linguaggi specifici, menzionali quando parli dei linguaggi software che conosci.
Question 3

Domanda 3: Parlami di un progetto che hai portato a termine con successo.

How to answer
Come rispondere: Nel descrivere un progetto che hai portato a termine con successo, è utile individuare gli aspetti che hanno funzionato e descrivere in dettaglio i diversi elementi delle attività svolte. Puoi descrivere il team con il quale hai lavorato, il modo in cui hai gestito i tempi e il contributo specifico che hai apportato.

419,377 software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

You're writing an application that receives a stream of individual items of data. The stream may be very long or very short, but you have no way of knowing how long it is (i.e. there's no trick to figuring out the size of the stream of data). How would you go about choosing m items such that any subset of m items was equally likely? (Not an even distribution of values, but just that any m items are equally likely to be chosen). So for example, m=1000, and the number of items in the stream, n, may be 1000, or 10000, or 100000000, or much much larger; there is no way to know how many.

trickier question, code a method given the following method signature that will print out any numbers that intersect both arrays of numbers //Example arrays // 4, 18, 25, 40, 411 // 20, 25, 40, 320, 1009, 1100 void intersect(int[] arr1, int len1, int[] arr2, int len2) {

Second interview: 1) A shuffled set contains unique numbers except one of the numbers appears twice. Find the number that appears twice. (Funny enough the interviewer had a custom random shuffler function to shuffle the set. But his shuffler function was not truly random as he would randomly pick indexes from 0--length of set and swap but this could pick the same indexes twice. Its technically buggy code, but I didn't dare mention something like that in an interview. Goes to show how "strong" the developers working in Tinder are. It also explains the numerous buggy user experience on the app) 2) Merge part in merge sort

The one that tripped me up asked me to write code to return all words in a dictionary that can be formed from a string of numbers (e.g. 34556), where the numbers map the same why they do on a phone (e.g. 1->A, B, or C).
