   Find the largest k for which at least k instance ratings are at least k, handling threshold equality and the zero-answer case.

4. Coding questions · Stripe

   Find the Latest Balance for a Bank Account

   Query the latest dated bank-account balance using both bank and account identifiers while handling records across months and years.

5. Coding questions · Agoda

   Find the Longest Calendar-Day Streak with All Employees Present

   Identify dates when every employee is present and compute the longest consecutive streak, treating missing attendance as a gap.

6. Coding questions · Bloomberg

   Find the Lowest Common Ancestor of Two Nodes in an N-ary Tree

   Given a rooted tree whose nodes can have any number of children, stored as child lists, return the lowest common ancestor of two labeled nodes. The problem generalizes the binary-tree version to arbitrary fan-out and tests tree traversal, ancestor reasoning, and robust handling of very deep, path-shaped trees.

   Find the Minimum Bus Fleet with Station Constraints

   Minimize a bus fleet when trips have origin and destination stations, tracking when buses become available at the correct departure station.

8. Coding questions · Snowflake

   Find the Minimum Fleet for a Bus Timetable

   Find the minimum number of buses needed for a timetable by tracking overlapping trips and allowing reuse at equal arrival and departure times.

9. Coding questions · Pinterest

   Find the Minimum Number of Coins for an Amount

   Find the minimum number of unlimited-denomination coins needed to form an exact target amount. This portable version of the standard referenced problem defines impossible and zero amounts, duplicate denominations, numeric bounds, and two examples for later cross-language console verification.

10. Coding questions · IBM

    Find the Minimum Shared Increment on Nonadjacent Array Positions

    Choose nonadjacent indices for one common nonnegative increment to make an array nondecreasing, or determine that no operation can succeed.

11. Coding questions · Salesforce

    Find the Minimum Word Transformation Steps

    Compute the minimum number of one-character transformations between equal-length words when every intermediate word must belong to a supplied dictionary, returning failure when no path exists.

12. Coding questions · Roblox

    Find the Most Frequent Log Call

    This question evaluates a candidate's ability to perform frequency analysis on sequences, demonstrating competency with data structures for counting occurrences and with algorithmic time and space complexity considerations.

13. Coding questions · Meta

    Find the most-used app

    This question evaluates data manipulation and metrics-definition skills, emphasizing SQL and Python proficiency for aggregating user activity and joining app metadata within analytics workflows.

14. Coding questions · Microsoft

    Find the Most Visited Track Position

    Count visits along inclusive sprint intervals in either direction and return the smallest numbered position among those visited most often.

15. Coding questions · Waymo

    Find the N-th Positive Integer Whose Digits Are All 3, 5 or 6

    Positive integers whose digits are only 3, 5 or 6 are called good numbers; return the n-th good number in increasing order as a string for n up to one trillion. Tests counting by digit length and mapping the rank to a base-3 style digit sequence.

16. Coding questions · DoorDash

    Find the nearest city sharing axis

    This question evaluates algorithmic problem-solving and data-structuring skills for efficient spatial queries constrained to shared axes, including handling tie-breaking rules and preprocessing for fast lookups.

17. Coding questions · Uber

    Find the Next Larger Palindrome

    This question evaluates proficiency in numeric and string manipulation, algorithmic thinking, and edge-case reasoning related to palindromic number generation.

18. Coding questions · LinkedIn

    Find the Node Where Two Singly Linked Lists Merge

    Two singly linked lists stored in one successor array may merge at some node and share every node after it. Given both heads, return the first shared node, or -1 if the lists never meet. It tests linked-list traversal and careful handling of cases such as one list starting inside the other.

19. Coding questions · NVIDIA

    Find the nth prime number

    This question assesses algorithmic problem-solving and number-theoretic computation skills, requiring efficient prime generation and complexity analysis in the Coding & Algorithms domain.

20. Coding questions · SoFi

    Find the second most frequent tag

    This question evaluates a candidate's ability to perform frequency analysis and stable tie-breaking on a linear sequence, exercising skills in hashing, counting, and handling edge cases such as equal frequencies.

21. Coding questions · Anthropic

    Find the Slowest Function from Profiler Events

    This question evaluates the ability to interpret time-ordered profiler event logs, compute inclusive and exclusive function runtimes, reason about call-stack semantics, and recognize anomalies such as recursion, cycles, missing end events, or non-returning functions.

22. Coding questions · Verkada

    Find the Super Admin User Who Can Access Every Camera Through Nested Groups

    Given permission triples linking users, groups and cameras, find the user who can access every camera through direct ownership or through nested, possibly cyclic group memberships. It tests modeling permissions as a directed graph, reachability that tolerates membership cycles, and edge cases such as an input with no cameras or a group that covers everything.

    Find the Top-Left Submatrix Matching a Grid Pattern With Letter Variables

    Locate a pattern grid inside an integer matrix, where each pattern cell is either an exact number or a letter that must stand for one consistent value, and return the top-left corner of the match with the lowest row and then the lowest column. It tests two-dimensional scanning, variable binding, and tie-breaking rules.
