Some Phone Interview Programming Questions


I sometimes try phone interviews with companies. It is both a refreshment for me and a fun way to challenge yourself. These questions are easy ones though, but can be noted.
  • Find duplicate element in an N array.
    • [1,2,3,4,5,4] > 4
  • Given earth and 1 billion star location, find 100 closest stars to earth
    • locations in 3d
  • Write parseInt function in Java.
    • 123 > 123
    • 123.00 > 123
    • 123ab > Exception
    • 123.ab > Exception
    • 123.50 > Exception (or rounding)
    • 12323123123131231231312312312 > Exception
