I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Aug 2021. There were 4 interview rounds.
A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable.
Pointers are used to manipulate memory directly.
They can be used to pass large data structures to functions without copying them.
Pointers can be used to create dynamic data structures like linked lists and trees.
They can also be used to access hardware directly.
Examples of pointer types include int*, char*, and void*.
Swap 2 numbers without using 3rd variable
Use addition and subtraction
Use multiplication and division
Use bitwise XOR operation
Answering Fibonacci series with and without recursion
Fibonacci series is a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones
Recursion method involves calling the function within itself
Non-recursive method involves using a loop to calculate the series
Recursive method is slower and can cause stack overflow for large inputs
Non-recursive method is faster and more efficient for large inputs
Print series of prime numbers
Start with 2 as the first prime number
Check if each number greater than 2 is divisible by any number less than it
If not, add it to the list of prime numbers
Continue until desired number of primes are found
An outer join in SQL retrieves records from both tables, including unmatched rows from either side.
Outer joins can be LEFT, RIGHT, or FULL, depending on which table's unmatched rows you want to include.
Example of LEFT JOIN: SELECT * FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON A.id = B.id; // Includes all from A and matched from B.
Example of RIGHT JOIN: SELECT * FROM A RIGHT JOIN B ON A.id = B.id; // Includes all from B and matched from A.

This was a Data Structural round.
You are tasked with arranging 'N' words of varying lengths such that each line contains at most 'M' characters, with each word separated by a space. The challenge is to minimiz...
The goal is to minimize the total cost of arranging 'N' words on each line with a maximum character limit 'M'.
Calculate the cost of each line as the cube of extra space characters needed to reach 'M'.
Minimize the total cost by arranging words to fit within the character limit on each line.
Ensure each word appears fully on one line without breaking across lines.

This was an HR round.
Tip 1 : Practice as much as you can.
Tip 2 : Prepare for company, not in general.
Tip 3 : Your past work should be objective and your contribution should be very clear
Tip 1 : Keep only relevant things for the job you are applying.
Tip 2 : Minimal data with measurable contribution and effect.

I applied via Monster and was interviewed before Apr 2020. There was 1 interview round.
A generic swap function swaps two values of any data type.
The function should take two parameters of any data type.
Use a temporary variable to store the value of one parameter.
Assign the value of the second parameter to the first parameter.
Assign the value of the temporary variable to the second parameter.
Search for an element in a rotated sorted linked list.
Find the pivot point where the list is rotated.
Divide the list into two sublists based on the pivot point.
Perform binary search on the appropriate sublist.
Handle edge cases such as empty list and list with only one element.
Search an element in a rotated sorted array
Find the pivot point where the array is rotated
Divide the array into two sub-arrays based on pivot point
Perform binary search on the appropriate sub-array
Repeat until element is found or sub-array size is 1
Given a Sudoku board, find possible numbers for an empty cell.
Iterate through empty cells and check possible numbers using row, column, and box constraints.
Use a set to keep track of possible numbers for each empty cell.
Return the set of possible numbers for the given empty cell.
Find integer average of 4 unsigned integers without typecasting
Add all the integers and divide by 4
Use bit shifting to divide by 4
Handle overflow by using long long data type
Use unsigned int data type for input
Code to identify 32 bit or 64 bit architecture of a processor
Check if the operating system is 32 bit or 64 bit
If OS is 32 bit, processor is 32 bit
If OS is 64 bit, check if processor supports 64 bit architecture
Use CPUID instruction to check if processor supports 64 bit architecture
Convert binary number to base 64 integer
Divide the binary number into groups of 6 bits
Convert each group of 6 bits to decimal
Map the decimal value to the corresponding base 64 character
Concatenate the base 64 characters to form the final integer
Creating test cases for random scenarios ensures software reliability and robustness through diverse input validation.
Identify edge cases: Test with minimum and maximum input values, e.g., an empty array vs. a large array.
Use random data: Generate random inputs to simulate real-world usage, e.g., random user names or passwords.
Test invalid inputs: Ensure the system handles unexpected inputs gracefully, e.g., negative n...

Reverse a stack using recursion without using any extra space other than the internal stack space.
Use recursion to pop all elements from the original stack and store them in function call stack.
Once the stack is empty, push the elements back in reverse order.
Base case of recursion should be when the original stack is empty.
