Array Interview Preparation Guide

Frequently Asked Array Questions in Technical Coding Rounds


Basic Level (Easy)
1 Find the maximum and minimum element in an array.
2 Reverse an array in place.
3 Find the sum of all elements in an array.
4 Search for an element in an array (linear/binary search).
5 Find the frequency of each element in an array.

Intermediate Level
1 Find the second largest (or smallest) element in an array.
2 Remove duplicates from a sorted/unsorted array.
3 Rotate an array by k positions (left or right).
4 Find the missing number in a sequence (e.g., 1 to n).
5 Find the first repeating element in an array.
6 Find the subarray with the maximum sum (Kadane’s Algorithm).
7 Count pairs in an array whose sum equals a given value.
8 Move all zeros to the end while maintaining order of other elements.
9 Find the majority element (> n/2 occurrences).
10 Merge two sorted arrays without using extra space.

Advanced Level
1 Find the 'leaders' in an array (elements greater than all elements to their right).
2 Find the length of the longest subarray with sum 0.
3 Find the equilibrium index (sum of left = sum of right).
4 Maximum product subarray.
5 Find the smallest subarray with a sum greater than a given value.
6 Trapping Rain Water problem.
7 Stock Buy and Sell problem (maximize profit).
8 Find the longest consecutive subsequence.
9 Find duplicates in an array in O(n) time and O(1) space.
10 Find the median of two sorted arrays.
Tips for Solving Array Problems
• Start with brute force to understand the problem, then optimize.
• Use hashing, sorting, and two-pointer techniques for efficiency.
• Sliding window and prefix/suffix sums are common patterns.
• Consider edge cases: empty array, single element, duplicates, negative numbers.
• Analyze time and space complexity before finalizing your solution.
• Explain your reasoning and trade-offs clearly during interviews.
