Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Coding round was done on hackerrank .

1. Given two numbers a and b, find kth digit from right of  a^b. (Naïve method will only help you to pass half of the test cases)

2. Second question was based on reducing a given expression in its smallest form and printing lexicographically smaller expression.

3. You are provided with n and m values which denote the rows and columns. Rajesh starts at top most cell (0, 0).  He will not visit the visited cell.

a. He moves to the point towards his right

b. If he cannot move one point to the right, he rotates right and then takes the path to the right

c. If after performing 4 rotate operations, if he cannot move then he would stop

Print the number of cells visited by him.

Sample 1:

3 3

Output: 9

Explanation:

1 2 9

4 3 8

5 6 7

The problem can be solved using dynamic programming but there is also a logical way to solve it in less time.
