  • Ans. 

    The task is to determine the number of possible ways to roll all the dice such that the sum of the face-up numbers equals the given 'target' sum.

    • Use dynamic programming to solve the problem efficiently.

    • Create a 2D array to store the number of ways to achieve each sum with the given number of dice.

    • Iterate through the dice and faces to calculate the number of ways to reach each sum.

    Your stack implementation should provide these public functions:

    Explanation:

    ...
  • Ans. 

    Implement a stack using two queues to store integer values with specified functions.

    • Use two queues to simulate stack operations efficiently.

    • Maintain the top element in one of the queues for easy access.

    • Ensure proper handling of edge cases like empty stack.

    • Example: Push elements 5, 10, 15; Pop elements; Check top element.

  • Ans. 

    Find the maximum sum of a subarray in an array of integers.

    • Iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum sum subarray ending at each index.

    • Use Kadane's algorithm to efficiently find the maximum subarray sum.

    • Consider the case where all elements are negative to handle edge cases.

    • Example: For input [1, -2, 3, -1, 2], the maximum subarray sum is 4.

Round 2 - Video Call 

Round duration - 60 minutes
Round difficulty - Medium

My 1st technical round began with a small introduction and a discussion on my projects. After that, my complete interview revolved around Object-oriented principles and 1 basic coding question. The interviewer asked all the pillars of Object-oriented along with use cases and where have I implemented them in my projects.

Round 3 - Video Call 

(1 Question)

In my 2nd technical round, the interviewer began with the complete discussion of my projects. He asked me everything about them like which technologies I have used, why I have used them, what are the alternatives, what are the real-life applications of these projects. After this, He asked questions on Computer Networks, Operating system, Database Management system and at the end, some of the SQL queries. SQL queries were quite easy, I found one of the queries tricky and harder as compared to other i.e print nth largest salary of the employees. The interviewer also asked me why I was not able to code one of the questions in the coding round. I explained the complete approach of that question and he was quite satisfied. This technical round was of 1 hour long.
