DSA oriented design questions. Microsoft asks these either in DSA or during LLD rounds. ----------------------------------------- Use below list for final preparation of your Microsoft interviews. Let’s get started… PS: You can ask me any low level design related questions on r/LowLevelDesign I also take LLD mock interviews: <a href="https://topmate.io/prashant_priyadarshie
State design pattern. This is also asked in multiple different ways. * A single lift system and you have to only check whether a given request is feasible or not. It is more of a DSA question, but is asked in LLD rounds. * A single lift system where you have to simulate lift going up/down and passengers coming in and going out. * Simulate a multiple lifts system, it will have more complex states and rules. Single lift, request feasibility: <a href="https://codezym.com/question/23e
Strategy design pattern, to implement the different algorithms for choosing a machine to host a container. Machine Coding Practice: <a href="https://codezym.com/question/28e
Trie to implement this question. <a href="https://codezym.com/question/26*
Strategy pattern may be used to implement different moves e.g. straight move, diagonal move etc. Practice Link: <a href="https://codezym.com/question/8s
THE most common LLD interview question. You must do this question if you are prepare for any LLD interview. A parking lot can have multiple floors. Its core features will be * park and unpark vehicles, * search parked vehicles by vehicle number, * count number of free spots on a given floors for a given vehicle type. You entities will be ParkingLot class which will contain a list of ParkingFloor(s). ParkingFloor will contain a 2-D array of ParkingSpot(s) arranged in rows and columns. There can be multiple parking strategies, so we should use strategy design pattern to solve this question. Practice Link: <a href="https://codezym.com/question/7)
