Sample Teradata interview questions
- 1
Alien Dictionary Order Derive the alien dictionary order from a sorted list of alien words. Input: words = ["z","x","z"] Output: "" (Empty String) Explanation: The letter 'z' cannot come before 'x' and then suddenly after 'x', creating a cycle and making the dictionary invalid.
technicalmedium - 2
Maximum Subarray Sum Find the maximum subarray sum in an integer array. Input: nums = [-3,-4,-1,-2] Output: -1 Explanation: Kadane's algorithm correctly identifies that the single isolated element -1 provides the highest possible sum.
technicalmedium - 3
Minimum Window Substring Find the minimum window substring that contains all characters of another string. Input: s = "a", t = "aa" Output: "" (Empty String) Explanation: The target requires two 'a's, but the source string only contains one, making it impossible to form a valid window.
technicalmedium - 4
Sort a String by Frequency Sort a string by the frequency of its characters. Input: s = "cccaaa" Output: "cccaaa" or "aaaccc" Explanation: Both 'c' and 'a' appear three times, so sorting them by descending frequency keeps them grouped equally.
