Q. What is the time complexity of quicksort in edge cases?
Ans. 

Quicksort's time complexity can degrade to O(n^2) in worst-case scenarios, affecting performance significantly.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - It is important to thoroughly understand the topic and practically write code to see its application. For instance, in the case of the Singleton design pattern, we might question how we can identify it as a singleton. While we cannot observe it directly, we must determine which class to use for creating a singleton class and understand how this ensures the creation of only one instance.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - My interview was rescheduled 3 times!! And after finishing my technical round, there were no updates at all. They just completely ghosted me. No matter what the result, you have to respect the candidate's time and interest and inform them about the same. On top of this, the interview itself was a disaster. The interviewer was uninterested and was making the process much more difficult for me, asking irrelevant questions that are not my expertise or complex considering I just have around 2 years of experience in the field. Overall, I just didn't like their attitude towards candidates.
