A log file which has user details(user ID,timestamp) and pages visited in a particular day by that user.The next day -the same kind of log file gets generated.How do you find the probability of users who logged in consecutive days out of the second day - logged in users? The question is simple,but they look for the efficient data structure and time complexity.

Print in spiral form as shown below
For n=2
3 2
0 1
For n=3
4 3 2
5 0 1
6 7 8
For n=4
15 14 13 12
4 3 2 11
5 0 1 10
6 7 8 9

You are given a binary search tree T of finite (means can fit in memory) size n in which each node N contains
- integer data element
- pointer to left child
- pointer to right child
- pointer to in order successor (which is set null for each node)

Set all in order successor pointers of the given binary search tree.

Given a number x = 0x25. Convert it into y = 0x25252525.

You are given an input form such as the following
(1, (2, 3), (4, (5, 6), 7))
Each element is either a number or a list (whose elements may also be numbers or other lists).
Output the numbers as they appear, stripped down into a single list.
E.G. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

(Complication - how does your code handle the case of ((((5)))) vs just ( 5 ) ? )

You are given a string that is in roman numeral format.
Output the integer representation.
E.G. You're given XIV
Output 14.

implement Java's pow function, then list test cases, examine performance, see if you can optimize performance.

public double pow(double a, int b)

Given a positive integer, decode it into a string in following way :-
1 - a, 2 - b,3 - c,...26 - z, 27 - aa, 28 - ab........and so on.

Given today is Thursday and 23rd August, 2012. Write a function to input a date (future or past) and tell which day it is:-
int day_of_week(int dd, int mm, int yyyy)
Mon -1, Tue - 2, Wed -3......Sun-7

Given a matrix represented as int[n][n], rotate it 90 degrees clockwise in-place. (In-place means minimal extra memory to be used, ie, don't make a new array to copy into). Rotate clockwise means top-row becomes right-column, right column becomes bottom-row etc.

Given a binary tree, where each node has some value.
Print the path with maximum value.

How to calculate a mathematical expression stored as a string ? for eg :- string = "4* ( 3 + 2 ) - 1"

A well renowned hotel has three branches in Miami. Namely x,y and z.Each has two types of customers. Regular and Rewardee. Also each branch has its own ratings x is given a 3 star rating while y has 5 star rating and z has 4 star rating.

Design a Date class that represents a US date. Write add and subtract operation using the class. Optimize the operations.

Given an array of integers [2,1,3, 5, 7, 6], re arrange elements such that either even numbers in even locations or odd numbers in odd locations. i.e [2,1,6,5,7,3] in O(n)

Given an unsorted array, how to divide them into two equal arrays whose sum of difference is minimum.

Can it be done in o(n)?

how would you print the lever order of a tree (not a binary tree i.e. each node has more than two children)?

Implement a console based palindrome game where the input follows a sting and optionally followed by player's name.

Rules
-----
1. If the player enters a valid palindrome then increase the score by half the palindrome's length.
2. The game also lists top 5 Hall-of-Fame players based on the score ranks.
3. The game should register the player if not already registered.
4. If the server resets - then the players score should be reset to zero.

Write an API to find valid IP address.
(Asked followup questions like which kind or IP format, return type, range specific, etc.)

The aim is to find the optimal solution which packs the pieces in 4x4 unit square.
a jig saw puzzle is made up of exactly 4 pieces.
size of the completed puzzle is always 4 units x 4 units. This is given
There is no picture printed on the pieces; any solution would be valid, as long it is a 4 x 4 unit square.
The pieces can be only triangles, or quadrilaterals. Nothing else.

Given a log file, extract all the lines starting with the word ERROR.

A string s is said to be unique if no two characters of s are same.
A string s1 is producible from s2 by removing some of the characters from s2.
A string s1 is said to be more beautiful than s2 if length of s1 is more than s2 or if both have same length and s1 is lexicographically greater than s2( ex: ba is more beautiful than ab)
Input: is a string which can be of maximum 10^6 characters, you have to produce the most beautiful unique string out of the given string.

N*N matrix. contains only 0's and 1's.
every row is sorted in descending order.
find row containing maximum no of 1's. Efficient soln reqd.

This is a newbie interview question from Statistic industry.
there are a vector v {c1, c2,c3...c(n-1)} and a variable x, try to construct a polynomial eg:

p(x)= c1 + c2*x + c3*x^2 + ... + c(n-1)*x^(n-1)

Given a line, adjust this line to the page width.

For example, given "Dog is cute" (length of chars is 11) and the page width is 15, adjust the line to "Dog is cute". The extra spaces should be distributed as much even as possible. Assume there is no space before the first word or after the last word.

if an array is given like 11
increment its value to 1
o\p should be 12

if the array has 99
o\p should be 100

you can use vectors.
