You are provided with an integer array ARR
of length 'N'. Your objective is to determine the first missing positive integer using linear time and constant space. T...
Tip 1 : During an interview, never say that you don't know the answer, keep trying and the interviewer will help you himself.
Tip 2 : Keep speaking up the approach going on in your mind, they want to judge your approaches much more than whether the answer is right or wrong.
Tip 3 : Be confident, cheerful, keep smiling, and continue making eye contact with the interviewer, this leaves a positive impression.
Tip 4 : Search and practice questions specific to the company, questions are repeated several times.
Tip 5 : A sound knowledge of Microsoft Azure Services and cloud computing will be an icing on the cake, and increase your chances to get selected.
Tip 6 : Keep giving contests on coding platforms, it will help you to stay motivated and check your stand.
Tip 7 : Keep a daily goal of number of questions instead of the time duration.
Tip 1 : Everything mentioned on the resume should be thoroughly known to you since if they catch you being dishonest, pretty good coding skills also might not help.
Tip 2 : Have projects related to the same field you are trying to apply for mentioned in your resume, this shows you are already experienced in the field.
Tip 3 : Adding references of some experienced people of the same field might help you gain their trust.
Tip 4 : Do not keep your resume too long, and do not mention irrelevant details, keep it short and crisp.
Tip 5 : Some experience in the field of operations and management or some positions of responsibility will really help you score extra points since it shows you have leadership qualities and are familiar with the market along with super coding skills.

This round was the online coding test conducted on the platform Mettl. The languages allowed were C, C++, Java and Python. There were three questions. One was of graphs (Depth-first search), other was a big integer problem and the third was a string problem.
You are provided with a graph consisting of N
vertices, numbered from 1 to N
, and M
edges. Your task is to color the graph using two colors, Blue and Red, such that no two...
Given a graph with vertices and edges, determine if it can be colored using two colors without adjacent vertices sharing the same color.
Check if the graph is bipartite using graph coloring algorithm like BFS or DFS.
If the graph is bipartite, return 'Possible' with a valid coloring assignment.
If the graph is not bipartite, return 'Impossible'.
Write a program to perform basic string compression. For each character that repeats consecutively more than once, replace the consecutive duplicate occurrences with t...
Write a program to compress a string by replacing consecutive duplicate characters with the character followed by the number of repetitions.
Iterate through the string and count consecutive occurrences of each character
Append the character and its count to a new string
Return the compressed string if it is shorter than the original, else return the original string
Handle edge cases like single characters or when compresse...

This was a pen and paper subjective interview round. You were expected to write full code on paper. Make sure you use proper names for the variables and write comments explaining very clearly what the code does. Also, try writing code in good handwriting which can be understood by the interviewer.
Count total palindromic substrings in a given string.
Iterate through each character in the string and consider it as the center of a palindrome. Expand outwards to find all palindromic substrings.
Use dynamic programming to efficiently check if a substring is a palindrome.
Consider both odd-length and even-length palindromes.
Example: Input 'ababa', output 7 (a, b, a, b, a, aba, aba)

The interview took place in the morning and the interviewer was very friendly.
Let A[0 ... n-1]
be an array of n
distinct positive integers. An inversion of A
is a pair of indices (i, j)
such that i < j
and A[i] > A[j]
. Given an integer array...
Count the number of inversions in an array of distinct positive integers.
Use merge sort algorithm to count inversions efficiently.
Divide the array into two halves and recursively count inversions in each half.
Merge the two sorted halves while counting split inversions.
Time complexity can be optimized to O(n log n) using merge sort.
Example: For input A = [2, 4, 1, 3, 5], the output should be 3.
Transform a given binary tree into a sum tree where each node is replaced by the sum of its immediate children's values. Leaf nodes should be replaced with 0. Then, p...
Convert a binary tree into a sum tree by replacing each node with the sum of its children's values, and return the preorder traversal.
Traverse the tree recursively and replace each node with the sum of its children's values
Leaf nodes should be replaced with 0
Perform a preorder traversal on the transformed sum tree to get the final result

The HR Interview round was held in the morning and it was right after my technical interview.
Just be confident during interview and if you are stuck in between any question, then ask for a hint from the interviewer. The practice is key for success, so practice hard for Data Structures and Algorithms coding problems on Coding ninjas as it is the best platform for coding. Also you may practice on Geeks For Geeks or any other interview portal.
Application resume tips for other job seekersMention all internships which you have done, as it increases your chances of shortlisting your resume. Also just write that skills which you are pretty confident about.
