Interview Questionnaire 

3 Questions

  • Q1. How you find loop in a linked list
  • Ans. 

    To find a loop in a linked list, we use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.

    • Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.

    • If there is a loop in the linked list, the two pointers will eventually meet.

    • To detect the meeting point, we reset one of the pointers to the head of the linked list and move both pointers at the same speed.

    • The meeting point is the start of the loop.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't apply for this company. Main reason is strictly 5 days work from office. Hr are so much incompetent in terms of explaining the process as well as job role. Delayed response and rude behavior.bo feedback and not even shared the outcome of interview. Has to ask multiple times to receive response. Seems engineering department isn't capable enough to decide what they actually want from candidate and what should be the outcome of questions asked.
