Output: { foo: { bar: { baz: “a” }, biz: “b” } }

System Design:
Amazon asks a lot of behavioral questions, so it’s crucial to prepare well with stories for each point. Be ready with multiple stories as each round consists of at least two behavioral questions. After the interview, it’s challenging to feel good. Remember to keep your throat and water ready in advance. For coding, even if you’ve prepared for similar questions, don’t rush to write code. Communicate with the interviewer, clarify requirements, and reach an agreement before implementation. Any help would be appreciated.
