DSA Interview Questions

Dear readers, these Data Structures & Algorithms Interview Questions have been designed
specially to get you acquainted with the nature of questions you may encounter during your
interview for the subject of Data Structures & Algorithms. As per my experience good
interviewers hardly plan to ask any particular question during your interview, normally
questions start with some basic concept of the subject and later they continue based on further
discussion and what you answer −

What is data-structure?

What are various data-structures available?

What is algorithm?

Why we need to do algorithm analysis?

What are the criteria of algorithm analysis?

What is asymptotic analysis of an algorithm?

What are asymptotic notations?

What is linear data structure?

What are common operations that can be performed on a data-


structure?

Briefly explain the approaches to develop algorithms.

Give some examples greedy algorithms.

What are some examples of divide and conquer algorithms?

What are some examples of dynamic programming algorithms?

What is a linked-list?

What is stack?

Why do we use stacks?

What operations can be performed on stacks?

What is a queue in data-structure?

Why do we use queues?

What operations can be performed on Queues?

What is linear searching?

What is binary search?

What is bubble sort and how bubble sort works?

Tell me something about 'insertion sort'?

How insertion sort and selection sorts are different?

What is merge sort and how it works?

What is shell sort?

How quick sort works?

What is a graph?

How depth first traversal works?

How breadth first traversal works?

What is a tree?

What is a binary tree?

What is a binary search tree?

What is an AVL Tree?

What is a spanning tree?

How many spanning trees can a graph has?

How Kruskal's algorithm works?

How Prim's algorithm finds spanning tree?

What is a minimum spanning tree (MST)?

What is a heap in data structure?

What is a recursive function?

What is tower of hanoi?

Tower of Hanoi, is a mathematical puzzle which consists of three tower (pegs) and more than
one rings. All rings are of different size and stacked upon each other where the large disk is
always below the small disk. The aim is to move the tower of disk from one peg to another,
without breaking its properties.

What is fibonacci series?

What is hashing?

What is interpolation search technique?

What is the prefix and post fix notation of (a + b) * (c + d) ?

What is Next ?
Further you can go through your past assignments you have done with the subject and make
sure you are able to speak confidently on them. If you are fresher then interviewer does not
expect you will answer very complex questions, rather you have to make your basics concepts
very strong.

Second it really doesn't matter much if you could not answer few questions but it matters that
whatever you answered, you must have answered with confidence. So just feel confident during
your interview. We at tutorialspoint wish you best luck to have a good interviewer and all the
very best for your future endeavor. Cheers :-)
