Process

Met with AMEX at a college career fair and had a great first impression. Everyone seemed really passionate and enthusiastic about the company. The process took about two weeks to get an interview from the career fair. People kept telling me that I would not need any technical skills for the job or interview and that they would teach me on the job.

The interview was suicide for a person who hasn't taken high-level math and Java courses. They asked me to write code, solve math problems, and problem-solve for various situations. There were behavioral questions, but mostly technical. Interviewers were very friendly and encouraging, and I heard back from the interview nine days later.

Questions

Write the code for a program to find the maximum value and a value greater than or equal to the minimum value.
