Welcome back! Software engineering is one of the best fields you can work in, but landing that software engineering position can be pretty difficult, so let’s talk about some of the most common software engineering questions out there. These specific questions were found on Glassdoor, so be sure to check out their website below:

With that out of the way, let’s get into some of these questions!

1. You have a 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.

2. An array of 99 elements contains integers from 1 to 100 with one missing element. Find the missing element.
