This contest is part of GfG Weekly Coding Contest. Click here to know more about the series and explore previous contests.

This contest was formerly known as Weekly Interview Series: Google

Welcome Geeks,
This contest is designed to simulate the coding round of the hiring process of Google. 
The questions are based on the latest interview experiences posted on GeeksforGeeks by members of our Geek Family. All the problems are function problems, i.e. you only need to complete the given function rather than writing complete code. You will have access to hints and time complexities. Just like in a real interview, asking for hints may have a negative impact on your overall score. 
Good Luck!

Instructions for the Contest

  • Languages supported for the contest are: C++, Java, Python.
  • Each submission will be tested based on our critical test data. 
  • There is 5% penalty for each wrong submission. For example, if a problem is of 100 marks and a participant makes a wrong submission, his marks are reduced to 95. After the next wrong submission of the same problem, his marks are further reduced to 90.25 and so on. Therefore, it is suggested to use ‘Compile & Test’ against sample test cases before each submission.
  • Each question has hints that you may use when you’re stuck on a problem. Marks are deducted on hints usage.
  • Please refrain from discussing strategy during the contest. All submissions are run through a plagiarism detector. Any case of code plagiarism will reduce the score of the concerned participants to 0.
  • Make sure other participants don’t have access to your code. In case you are using any other online coding environment, you are responsible for the privacy of your code.
  • It is advised to attempt the Sample Geeks Challenge to get familiar with the GeeksforGeeks coding environment.
  • You can find these questions in these interview experiences link1, link2.
