How it is possible to use HashMap or HashTable to find out first non repeated character since both HashMap and HashTable does not guarantee that the order of the map will remain constant over time?

I got one of those e-mails from the Google Blueprint Team asking me to take an online assessment.
- hbourke@pdx.edu February 18, 2015
I'm super nervous because the test is timed. Can someone give me some advice on not screwing it up by having a panic attack?
What I really need is a practice test. It's not important that the questions be super relevant or anything, I just need to go through the motions of taking the test before I actually take it so that my nerves don't get the best of me.
I'd also like to know if anyone knows if getting this e-mail means that I passed the initial screening. Does this mean that my resume was selected for this next step? Or is this an automated e-mail that everyone receives. If it does mean that my resume cleared the initial screening, was I likely screened by a human? Or do they simply have a script scanning for specific words. Similarly, will my code assessment be reviewed by a human? Or by a script?| Flag | PURGE - 0 Answers What Programming Programming Language should a Computer Science Student must learn

Hi All,
- napster.ashish February 04, 2015
I am planning to join a product company after working many years in service company. Earlier I have prepared for Microsoft, Amazon, Expedia but that was like 3-4 years before.
My question is do these companies hire people at 6-7 years of experience level. Also what is their expectation from a candidate at this experience level. And what annual package am I looking at if I get a job offer at MS/Amazon/Expedia.
Regards,

Hi everyone, the solution for this on page 172 explains how to use a boolean array for this, with the assumption that we are dealing with ASCII characters. Why is the size of the array 256 when the set of ASCII values ranges only from 0 -127 ? Thanks for any help!

I'm reading Cracking the Coding Interveiw 5Ed and it talks about "interview preparation grid" but never defines it. It is mentioned on the interview preparation "map", and a behavioral preparation grid example is given (but not defined) later on. So we have a grid within a map but what is that grid (page 8 it is mentioned)?. The web talks about I think technical preparation grid which is even a further concept not mentioned. Where are these things defined. Thanks.

I've had a screening interview and a technical interview at Facebook. The screening interview went great, the technical interview not as well. I've yet to hear back from Facebook and probably won't for another week, but in the meantime I'm trying to figure out how badly I did.
- Daniel Smith January 24, 2015
I was asked one question, not a simple "reverse a linked list" question, but not "implement this esoteric algorithm." It was my first technical interview. The short story: I spent the whole time on one problem, which isn't terrible in and of itself, and missed a much easier solution. I think I showed solid thought process and understanding in other ways though.
Long story: In normal interviews, you don't want to leave any silence. For some reason, this being my first technical interview, I had the same instinct. I kept talking so much about my thought process that instead of thinking critically about it, my brain just went into auto-pilot. I think I was pretty clearly nervous.
I'm a college Freshmen, but I have a pretty impressive resume. I've been programming all sorts of projects since middle school. I genuinely believe that I am qualified for the internship program. I've done an enormousness amount of program (much more than some college comp. sci seniors). The Facebook recruiter was really enthusiastic about my resume.
So, be honest, how screwed am I? What are my chances of getting a second technical interview? (I think I'd do much better)| Flag | PURGE - 1 Answer C# MCQ Morgan Stanley

5. Without inheritance delegates cannot be used.| Flag | PURGE - 0 Answers Phone interview with Amazon, interviewer is the Hiring Manager
I'm going to have my second phone interview with Amazon next week, and I was informed that the interviewer has been changed from one of the developers to the hiring manager. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is the interview going to be any different from any others at all?

I'm reading through cracking the code and I noticed that all of the Tree and Graph coding challenges were answered recursively. I was wondering why, and what is the advantage of doing this? I was under the assumption that recursive answers for Trees and Graphs was a bad idea due to stack overflows. Similarly, do you guys generally answer Tree and Graph related questions in a recursive fashion during interviews?
