I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months.
A recruiter reached out to me regarding the opportunity. After successfully clearing the Online Assessment (OA), I was invited to the Amazon Loop Interview process. The loop comprised four rounds:
You are given a 2D grid representing a terrain map with three types of cells:
Each radio tower broadcasts signals in 4 cardinal directions (up, down, left, right). A signal travels in a straight line until it either:
Your task: Determine which pairs of radio towers can communicate with each other. Two towers can communicate if a signal from one tower can reach the other tower.
Input Format grid = [ ['T', '.', '.', 'T'], ['.', 'M', '.', '.'], ['T', '.', '.', 'T'] ]
Example 1: Basic Line of Sight Input: T . . T . . . . T . . T
Signal Propagation: Tower (0,0) → → → reaches Tower (0,3) ✓ Tower (0,3) ↓ ↓ reaches Tower (2,3) ✓ Tower (2,0) → → → reaches Tower (2,3) ✓ Tower (0,0) ↓ ↓ reaches Tower (2,0) ✓
Output: [ ((0, 0), (0, 3)), # Top-left ↔ Top-right ((0, 3), (2, 3)), # Top-right ↔ Bottom-right ((2, 0), (2, 3)), # Bottom-left ↔ Bottom-right ((0, 0), (2, 0)) ]
Total communicating pairs: 4
Coding question were building a word game feature. Given a 2d from user tray and dictionary of valid words return all the words found by connecting adjavent cells board = o a a n e t a e i h k r i f l v
words = ["oath","pea","eat","rain"]
Output: ["oath","eat"]
