Candidate #1 – Yahoo Interview Experience

Status – Selected

Difficulty Level – Hard

Hey Guys! those who have been waiting to know about Yahoo’s Latest Interview Experience can check out my experience in the interview.

Below is the Yahoo Interview Process that I’ve undergone during my Yahoo Campus Interview.

• Aptitude Test
• Lab Test
• 2 Technical Rounds
• 2 HR Rounds

Round 1 – Aptitude Test

In this round, there are 25 questions and the time limit is 60 mins and there is no negative marking. The questions asked are related to algorithms, complex functions, probability, puzzles, graphs, OS, and Networking. This round ranges from easy to moderate depending upon your preparation level. Once I was qualified in the Aptitude round I was allowed to appear for the Lab Test round.

Round 2 – Lab Test

In this round, there are 2 sections and each section has 2 questions in it. And in order to qualify in this round, you must at least solve one question from each section.

Section 1 

1. Given a file system tree like the one given below, write a program to a) represent it in memory, and b) find the size of all files in any given path.

2. 9 mobiles are given whose name, cost, and 3 other features were provided on a scale of 9. You have to treat the cost as 1 dimension and three other features as another dimension (their respective weightage was given). When the user enters a name of a mobile, the name of another 3 mobiles should be displayed based on how similar they are to given mobile on the basis of dimension 1 and dimension 2 of the mobile.

Section 2

1. Split a Circular Linked List into two halves (Given a Circular Linked List of size N, split it into two halves circular lists. If there are an odd number of nodes in the given circular linked list then out of the resulting two halved lists, the first list should have one node more than the second list. The resultant lists should also be circular lists and not linear lists.)

2. You have to count the number of first contiguous 0s of an array. The size of the array is not given.

Once I have completed my coding, the Yahoo members came over, they checked my code and evaluated on different parameters like code clarity, style of coding, and output and they examined the code for different parameters.

Round 3 – Technical Round 1

Once, I greeted the interviewer and took a seat when he told me. And then the interviewer asked questions from my aptitude round to test my problem-solving skills. So, here are the few questions that were asked to me by the interviewer.
