33,424 data scientist interview questions shared by candidates

The first round questions included basic dataframe manipulations, a regex question on writing a pattern to identify specific phrase which could have any number of random words in between (eg. between high and calorie, there could be any number of words upto 4 eg. high word1 calorie, high word1 word2 calorie' etc). This also needed some basic preprocessings like handling unidecode errors, punctuations and numbers in a string. Another question was a probability based descriptive question and a easy question on coding to print numbers between 0 to 100 which were prime.

Three ants are sitting at the three corners of an equilateral triangle. Each ant starts randomly picks a direction and starts to move along the edge of the triangle. The probability that none of the ants collide = [ ? / ? ] Follow-up: k ants are sitting at the k corners of an equilateral polygon. Each ant starts randomly picks a direction and starts to move along the edge of the triangle. The probability that none of the ants collide = [ ? / ? ] Count how many trailing 0 in (100!)
