# How would you write a KNN search using base python?

We provide this **Data Structures & Algorithms** and **Coding** interview question for **Machine Learning Engineer** candidates. The page records **1 interview**, associated with **Amazon**, and was last asked **2 years ago**.

## Interview experience

One shared Amazon experience is from a **Machine Learning Engineer, Senior / L5** interview, **2 years ago**:

> "The interview loop was definitely more AI/ML focused than software focused. There was no leetcode really, but I did have to write a simple KNN algorithm from scratch."
