Interview Questions

Nils G. - "Bitshift the number to the right and keep track of the 1's you encounter. If you bitshift it completely and only encounter one 1, it is a power of two."See full answer

Jake M. - "Random Forest is a machine learning model used for classification problems or regression problems. It can handle binary classification as well as multi-class classification. It is a very efficient model and is great for a baseline or used in a service that needs extremely low latency depending on the size of the model. It's also a good option for wide datasets (dataset with many features) due to it's random subset of features. it is slightly less optimized for deep datasets on very large dataset"See full answer

Vishnu V. - "// Helper function to calculate the Euclidean distance between two points function distance(p1, p2) { return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(p1[0] - p2[0], 2) + Math.pow(p1[1] - p2[1], 2)); } // A helper function to find the closest pair in a given set of points within the strip function closestPairInStrip(strip, d) { let minDist = d; // Start with the current minimum distance strip.sort((a, b) => a[1] - b[1]); // Sort the strip by y-coordinate for (let i = 0; i < strip.length; i++) { "See full answer

Alireza K. - "Equal. log(a)+log(b)=log(axb) => log(1)+log(2)+log(3)+log(4)+log(5) = log(2x3x4x5)=log(120)"See full answer

Exponent - "RealSelf is a healthcare marketplace where consumers research aesthetic treatments (plastic surgery, etc.) and connect with physicians. Think of it like the Yelp of cosmetic procedures. Right away we should identify this as an expansion problem. Recall the formula for this type of question: Ask clarifying questions Perform user analysis Market risk analysis State goals Perform channel analysis Prioritize growth channels Strategy **Summari"See full answer

Weida H. - "filter function usually exists in some high level programming that adopt FP paradigm. It taks a sequence of items and a predicate function, and returns (conceptually) a subset of the items that satisfy the predicate. Adopt this kind of operation (filter, map, reduce, take, pairwise ...) can help writting cleaner code, and reduce the usage of mutable part in the program, lower the possibility of making human mistake. Take Python for example (although const-ness is not exists in Python), assu"See full answer
