(1) Stack, Queue, Linked List and Array. Pros and Cons of each data structure. (e.g. if you read and delete a lot of data not insert too many data, which data structure will you pick?) (2) What's the average complexity and worse complexity of quick sort. (3) Reverse a string, and reverse a sentence. (4) Given 2 red balls 2 black balls and 1 white balls, and randomly pick 2 of them.

finally face to face. this is 6 hour long and they will decide very quick the result. First is a Java test. expect to write long java programs with pen and paper. should write code accurately no psudo code java code. some of the questions were insert node in tree, find the bug in single linked list which is looping. Heavy multi threading concurrency questions. thread contention, java 5+ concurrency API lots of multi threading in depth questions. somof the questions ae when java does context switching explain what happens in CPU level1,level2,level3 cache. how do you optmize hit miss on cpu cache with java threading. questions about DB partition sharding, network topology in cassandra, clearly Big 0 questions. java concurrency concurrency collections framework questions I was asked to write on white board function in java to recursively delete files and then in a directory tree. Java code with semi colons command and perfect syntax was expected. boundary conditions need to be handled. unit tests were asked to be written.
