Unfortunately, there's no formula for technical questions, but some general tips are: Use analogies when you can Break your solution into clear, bite-size steps Don't be afraid to use examples to b"See full answer

Lakshman B. - "As we can pass info to only one child at a time, I told that from any given node, we have to pass the info to that child(of this node) which has the largest subtree rooted at it. To calculate the subtree sizes, I used DFS. And then to calculate the minimum time to pass info to all the nodes, I used BFS picking the largest subtree child first at every node. I couldn't write the complete code in the given time and also made a mistake in telling the overall time complexity of my approach. I think t"See full answer

Rika S. - "Great question! I think it's very important to teach kids about investment. Couple that with the trend of kids becoming tech savvy at a younger age, there's a big opportunity to design a useful product. I'd like to start by breaking down the customer segment of "kids." I will assume that kids who will use this product come from more affluent backgrounds and their parents have investment accounts. We certainly could target kids from a lower socioeconomic background, but I think the barriers for"See full answer

Anonymous Panda - "In a previous role as a Program Manager, I encountered a situation where we were halfway through a project aimed at streamlining our customer support operations.

Exponent - "This is a Measure Success question with a slight twist. The twist here is we need to consider a hypothetical change rather than one already built. This changes our formula slightly - specifically we may not be able to apply a UX flow to drive analysis since we're unsure of the implementation. Instead, we'll look at core behaviors that are indicative of success. Here's the modified formula: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature **Apply a UX flow to drive an"See full answer

Satyam C. - "TF-IDF CONCEPT EXPLANATION AND INTUITION BUILDING: TF-IDF is a measure that reflects the importance of a word in the document relative to a collection of documents. Its full form is Term Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency. The term TF indicates how often a term occurs in a particular document. It is the ratio of count of a particular term in a document to the number of terms in that particular document. So, the intuition is that if a term occurs frequently in a single documen"See full answer
