  • Q4. How to you reverse a string without using any looping and inbuilt functions?
  • Ans. 

    To reverse a string without using any looping and inbuilt functions, we can use recursion.

    • Create a function that takes a string as input.

    • If the length of the string is 0 or 1, return the string.

    • Otherwise, call the function recursively with the substring starting from the second character and concatenate the first character at the end.

    • Return the reversed string.

    • Example: reverseString('hello') returns 'olleh'.

  • Q5. How many queues will you use to implement a priority queue?
  • Ans. 

    A priority queue can be implemented using a single queue or multiple queues.

    • One approach is to use a single queue and assign priorities to elements using a separate data structure.

    • Another approach is to use multiple queues, each representing a different priority level.

    • For example, if there are three priority levels, three queues can be used to implement the priority queue.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Which datastructure would you use to implement an heteregenous array?
  • Ans. 

    An array of objects can be used to implement a heterogeneous array.

    • Each element in the array can be an object that represents a different data type.

    • The objects can have different properties and methods based on their respective data types.

    • For example, an element can be an object representing a string with a 'value' property and a 'length' method.

As a mechanical Engineer and having next to little proficiency in programming, I was not astounded to find myself biting nails and clicking Flukes while glancing at the ever-incomprehensible coding questions. With each question, it seemed like I was brandishing the bat in the air for all kinds of balls, whether bouncer or Yorker, just for the only reason "I can't make a single thing out of these questions, let alone answer". The verbal and quantitative part was friendlier on me. I was able to answer almost 90% in those two sections. The questions framed were basic and doable with a month

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Indeed, being a person known for my communication skills in college days wished to have a resume, setting me out of the queue.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Good ,as always. Was bit nervous, after seeing such a crowd and as it was my first off-campus experience . People were friendly and only ladies from my company who were not very old but enough to judge one by just looking at them. They were closely monitoring each and every activity in there.
Tips: Be yourself, Don't panic at all. You just need to stick on your point of  view and never ever contradict any of your statement.
Duration: 15 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had two technical rounds, the first one which went about 1hr 30 mins. Many questions starting from C to Java. In-fact it's better to say the lady wanted to know all what i have done in college. Was even asked about my last semester results and project.
Tips: No way out, just be prepared to the level of any possible question one can ask.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR was busy going through all papers he had. Even not looking at me for once. But i went on answering even to smallest he asked or confirmed. It was good overall but different as to relate someone not even listening you.

College Name: GANDHI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
Motivation: Being placed during on campus, but not satisfied with package and what i was offered. Came to a place like Bangalore from GIET, Gunupur where life is so fast. It was not easy, mind you a lot people around would de motivate you. But just don't get affected easily ,as to this is what my experience all over this tells. 
I was just stunned when i saw the official website of CGI.
Funny Moments: Was not really funny but would share ,as i smile to those now. Not being selected by TCS and my roommate, girls in hostel making fun of  the optimistic approach i had with life.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The first round was an online test conducted by hirepro.in. The round was 2 hours and went pretty swift aside from some really 'make or break' questions. As a mechanical Engineer and having next to little proficiency in programming, I was not astounded to find myself biting nails and clicking Flukes while glancing at the ever-incomprehensible coding questions. Me, With each question, seems like brandishing the bat in the air for all kinds of balls, whether bouncer or yorker, just for the only reason "I can't make a single thing out of these questions, let alone answer". The verbal and quantitative part was more friendly to me. I was able to answer almost 90% in those two sections. The questions framed were basic and doable with a month's or two's practice. The verbal section contained- Reading Comprehension, Word Synonym and antonym, Sentence Correction and Sentence orientation and ordering.
p.s: After giving the exam and ravaging the coding part, I saw my chances of getting shortlisted being one in a million. Still, with immense exultation, I got selected and was asked to go for the PI, as if they didn't consider the Programming part for mechanical engineering and for other core dept. students.
Tips: The only sutra to succeed in an online test is to stay cool during the exam and to have a healthy breakfast in the morning before the exam.
For the verbal part, start reading omnivorously and focus on sentence formation patterns. At last, Indiabix.com always comes as the saviour. For maths part needs a lot of Practice. Always, start the preparation for apti earlier than your peers: great way to get a heads up. STAY COOL AND BANG THE GAME.

After that he came on programming, He asked me very basic concept about C++. Questions were like what is polymorphism, What is encapsulation. He also asked program of fibonacci series. After all these question he again looked at my resume and asked me 'why your CGPA is low?' I said that when i was in my first year i had interest in electronics but later when i encountered with programming i decided to have my career in this field so i could not concentrate on my core subjects.
