Arcesium Software Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Updated 2 Dec 2024

6 Interview questions

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given n non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1, compute how much water it can trap after raining.
Ans. 

The Trapping Rain Water problem calculates how much rainwater can be trapped between elevation bars after rainfall.

  • The problem involves an array representing heights of bars.

  • Water trapped above each bar depends on the minimum of the tallest bars to its left and right.

  • Example: For heights [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1], the trapped water is 6 units.

  • Use two-pointer technique for an efficient O(n) solution.

  • Dynamic program...

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Given strings s1, s2, and s3, where s1 and s2 are divided into n and m parts respectively, determine if interleaving s1 and s2 can produce s3.
Ans. 

Check if after interleaving strings s1 and s2, we get s3 as one of the answers.

  • Create a recursive function to check all possible interleavings of s1 and s2

  • Check if the current interleaving matches s3

  • Return true if a valid interleaving is found, false otherwise

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. What is the difference between stack and heap memory?
Ans. 

Stack memory is used for static memory allocation and follows a Last In First Out (LIFO) structure, while heap memory is used for dynamic memory allocation and has a more flexible structure.

  • Stack memory is limited in size and is typically faster to access compared to heap memory.

  • Variables stored in stack memory have a fixed size determined at compile time, while variables in heap memory can have a size determined ...

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. What is a stable sort?
Ans. 

A stable sort is a sorting algorithm that preserves the relative order of equal elements in the sorted output.

  • Stable sorts are useful when the original order of equal elements needs to be maintained.

  • Examples of stable sorting algorithms include Merge Sort, Bubble Sort, and Insertion Sort.

  • In a stable sort, if two elements have the same key value, their relative order in the original array is preserved in the sorted...

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. What is hashing?
Ans. 

Hashing is a process of converting input data into a fixed-size string of bytes using a hash function.

  • Hashing is used to securely store passwords by converting them into a hash value.

  • Hashing is used in data structures like hash tables to quickly retrieve data based on a key.

  • Common hash functions include MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256.

A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Difference between cluster and non-cluster indexing. Do you know about database indexing?
Ans. 

Cluster indexing physically reorders the data on disk to match the index, while non-cluster indexing does not.

  • Cluster indexing physically reorders the data on disk to match the index structure, leading to faster retrieval of data.

  • Non-cluster indexing creates a separate data structure that points to the actual data, which may result in slower retrieval times.

  • Cluster indexing is typically used in primary keys, while...

Interview Tips & Stories

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
