Process

During Amazon's virtual onsite for the SDE intern role, I was asked a coding question involving prefix search.

Given a list of words and a prefix, I had to return all matching words.

I started with a simple startswith() loop, then optimized it using a Trie.

I implemented insert, prefix search, and DFS to collect all matches.

The interviewer was friendly and liked the structured approach.

Questions
