It was more of a in depth round on the framework I'm working on and problem solving.
The event loop is a mechanism in programming that allows for asynchronous execution of code.
The event loop is a key component in JavaScript's runtime environment, responsible for handling asynchronous operations.
It continuously checks the call stack for any pending tasks and executes them in a non-blocking manner.
The event loop ensures that the program remains responsive by allowing other code to run while waiting for ...

To find the fastest 3 horses out of a group with 5 horses racing at a time, we can use a tournament style approach.
Divide the horses into groups of 5 and race them against each other. This will give you the fastest horse in each group.
Take the winners from each group and race them against each other. The top 3 horses in this final race will be the fastest 3 overall.
Keep track of the results and compare the timings to d

The app I recently worked on is a social media platform for sharing photos and connecting with friends.
The app follows a client-server architecture, with the client being the mobile app and the server handling data storage and processing.
The client side is built using React Native for cross-platform compatibility.
The server side is implemented using Node.js with a MongoDB database for storing user data and photos.
The a...
Tip 1 : Get your JS fundamentals right (if applying for a Frontend role, https://javascript.info/ is a good start)
Tip 2 : Apart from preparing data structures, practise on the communication skills as well (prepare your introduction, be a good listener and on spot improvisation plays key roles)
Tip 1 : highlight projects related to the job profile in your resume and mention what was your contribution in them precisely in 1/2 lines.
Tip 2 : Include URLs to applications/projects that you have build and your achievements/blog (if any)

Round difficulty - Easy
A thief is planning to rob a store and can carry a maximum weight of 'W' in his knapsack. The store contains 'N' items where the ith item has a weight of 'wi' and a value of...
Yes, the 0/1 Knapsack problem can be solved using dynamic programming with a space complexity of not more than O(W).
Use a 1D array to store the maximum value that can be stolen for each weight capacity from 0 to W.
Iterate through each item and update the array based on whether including the item would increase the total value.
The final value in the array at index W will be the maximum value that can be stolen.
Given an array or list of integers 'ARR', identify the second largest element in 'ARR'.
If a second largest element does not exist, return -1.
ARR = [2,...
Find the second largest element in an array of integers.
Iterate through the array to find the largest and second largest elements.
Handle cases where all elements are identical.
Return -1 if a second largest element does not exist.

Easy to medium questions, Questions on DSA and Node.js.
I appeared for an interview in Feb 2025.
Data Structures, Coding MCQs
Data structures are organized formats for storing, managing, and accessing data efficiently.
1. Types: Common data structures include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
2. Arrays: Fixed-size collections of elements, e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4].
3. Linked Lists: Collections of nodes where each node points to the next, e.g., 1 -> 2 -> 3.
4. Stacks: Last-in, first-out (LIFO) structures, e.g., function call ...
Depth-First Search (DFS) is a graph traversal algorithm that explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.
DFS uses a stack data structure, either explicitly or via recursion.
It starts from a selected node and explores each branch before backtracking.
Example: In a binary tree, DFS can be implemented using pre-order, in-order, or post-order traversal.
DFS can be used to find connected components in a ...

Implement a solution to find the maximum profit from buying and selling stocks with at most 2 transactions.
Use dynamic programming to keep track of maximum profit at each day with 0, 1, or 2 transactions.
Consider the possibility of splitting the transactions into two separate parts.
Calculate the maximum profit by iterating through the prices array and updating the maximum profit accordingly.
Binary search is a divide and conquer algorithm that efficiently finds a target value in a sorted array.
Divide the array in half and compare the target value with the middle element
If the target is less than the middle element, search the left half. If greater, search the right half
Repeat the process until the target is found or the subarray is empty

A thread is a lightweight process that can run concurrently with other threads within the same process.
Threads allow for parallel execution of tasks within a single process.
Threads share the same memory space and resources of the process they belong to.
Threads can communicate with each other through shared memory or message passing.
Examples: Java threads, POSIX threads (pthreads) in C/C++.
