THESE QUESTIONS ARE TAKEN FROM INTERVIEWS OF GOOGLE,YAHOO,MSFT AND ADOBE.
THE QUESTIONS ARE LITTLE BIT ALTERED INORDER NOT TO BREAK THE NDA.
TRY SOLVING THESE WITH A PEN AND PAPER.
1.There is an array A[N] of N numbers. You have to compose an array Output[N] such that Output[i] will be equal to multiplication of all the elements of A[N] except A[i]. For example Output[0] will be multiplication of A[1] to A[N-1] and Output[1] will be multiplication of A[0] and from A[2] to A[N-1].
Solve it without division operator and in O(n).
2.Classical josephus problem-there are N numbers numbered from 1 to N and there is game to b played tht startin from 1 every second num wud b eliminated .... perform ths untill thr wud b only single num remained ...
e.g.
thr r 5 nums
1 2 3 4 5
thn aftr 1st iteration 1 3 5 wud remained
thn .... thn 1 will b elliminated and thn 5
3 will remain alone...
give sum efficient algo to calculate which num will remain at the end
3.the maximum subarray problem is the task of finding the contiguous subarray within a one-dimensional array of numbers (containing at least one positive number) which has the largest sum. For example, for the sequence of values −2, 1, −3, 4, −1, 2, 1, −5, 4; the contiguous subarray with the largest sum is 4, −1, 2, 1, with sum 6.Write some good code to find this maximum sum.
4.Consider a String with N (say 1000k) words in it.Write a function which takes two parameters i,j<=N which swaps the position of i th and the j th words present in the string.
Ex. This blog is really rocking courtesy citians.
if input if 2,5 thn o/p is
This rocking is really blog courtesy citians.
5.A convex polygon hull is given . How would you search a point ( whether a vertex or not) 
in O( log n). n = number of vertices in polygon.
6.Write some efficient pseudocode to find the 6th maximum element from an array of numbers.
7.Try designing a moore/mealy machine to output the exor of the input bits supplied.
