Google Interview Coding Problems & Solutions

1. Two Sum
Problem:

Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that

they add up to the target.

Example:

Input: nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9

Output: [0, 1]

Solution:

def two_sum(nums, target):

hashmap = {} # value: index

for i, num in enumerate(nums):

diff = target - num

if diff in hashmap:

return [hashmap[diff], i]

hashmap[num] = i

2. Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters


Problem:

Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Example:

Input: s = 'abcabcbb'

Output: 3

Solution:

def length_of_longest_substring(s):

char_set = set()
left = 0

max_len = 0

for right in range(len(s)):

while s[right] in char_set:

char_set.remove(s[left])

left += 1

char_set.add(s[right])

max_len = max(max_len, right - left + 1)

return max_len

3. Merge Intervals
Problem:

Given an array of intervals where intervals[i] = [starti, endi], merge all overlapping intervals.

Example:

Input: intervals = [[1,3],[2,6],[8,10],[15,18]]

Output: [[1,6],[8,10],[15,18]]

Solution:

def merge(intervals):

intervals.sort(key=lambda x: x[0])

merged = []

for interval in intervals:

if not merged or merged[-1][1] < interval[0]:

merged.append(interval)

else:

merged[-1][1] = max(merged[-1][1], interval[1])

return merged
4. Maximum Subarray (Kadanes Algorithm)
Problem:

Find the contiguous subarray with the largest sum.

Example:

Input: nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]

Output: 6

Solution:

def max_sub_array(nums):

max_current = max_global = nums[0]

for num in nums[1:]:

max_current = max(num, max_current + num)

if max_current > max_global:

max_global = max_current

return max_global
