Amazon Internship Questions for Debugging Test

In the first stage, they gave me one online debugging test, where 7 different codes with a detailed explanation of what they are supposed to do. But, they were having some bugs in them.

There can be compile-time or runtime errors. The task is to find them and fix the code so that it will pass all of the test cases.

The time limit for this test was 20 minutes.

As far as I remember you need to get at least 6 of 7 correct answers to clear this level.

To crack this round, you have to embrace all the basic programming skills. Practice solving interview coding questions.
