    Functional testing is a type of software testing where the system is tested against the functional requirements/specifications.

    • Test scenarios for a web application could include testing user authentication functionality

    • Testing search functionality to ensure accurate results are returned

  • Q3. How to check the IP of windows machine?
  • Ans. 

    To check the IP of a Windows machine, you can use the command prompt or the network and sharing center.

    • Open Command Prompt and type 'ipconfig' to view the IP address of the machine.

    • Alternatively, go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click on the network connection > Status > Details to find the IP address.

  • Q5. Difference between 32bit and 64 bit?
  • Ans. 

    32-bit and 64-bit refer to the size of the data types that a processor can handle.

    • 32-bit processors can handle data in 32-bit chunks, while 64-bit processors can handle data in 64-bit chunks.

    • 64-bit processors can access more memory than 32-bit processors (up to 18.4 million TB compared to 4 GB).

    • 64-bit processors can perform more calculations per second than 32-bit processors.

    • 64-bit processors are more efficient for han...

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Only a few students will get shortlisted who do all the questions correctly.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: First 4 rounds on day 1 and this are just to shortlist for more rounds on some other day.
Tips: They will focus on almost all the concepts of computer science.You need to practice a lot and start it right now. Should be easy if you have prepared well enough. Use your holidays to start preparing for placements.

General Tips: Sooner you start, better your placement will be as lack of practice & last day study works only for exams but never for interviews. You'll get enough time to prepare for interviews once you get shortlisted. Focus on it even if you are placed already.
Skill Tips: They will focus on almost all the concepts of computer science.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: On-site interview (5 hours).

4 back-to-back 45-minute coding interviews, followed by a design interview, with a lunch break with a Googler in the middle.

The first coding interview was a set of (surprisingly) trivial (no algorithms needed) incremental coding questions.

The two next coding interviews were problems straight from the "Cracking the coding interview" book. Even though I divulged that I'd solved pretty much exactly the same problem before, they didn't give me an alternative problem and I quickly coded up a general and optimal solution for the problems. Follow-up in-depth questions were minimal and not hard.

The last coding question was a pure algorithm question related to search trees/tries. No coding required, spent the whole time reasoning about the most effective algorithm. This was a bit of a brain twister.

The design question was related to high-level system design (not OO design) for storage and search in geographic data. Focus was effective search as well as scalability both in traffic and data volumes.

Tips: Read "Cracking the coding interview" or other similar literature. Solve all the problems and you should be good to go. If you solve a bunch of problems at HackerRank (or similar) as well, you'll have the added bonus of training on how to generalize the algorithms.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The first consisted of an online test which had an aptitude section which was pretty simply and then a programming section consisting of three different programs. The programs were logical required basic knowledge of array, sorting and a little bit of data structures.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Around 13 of us were shortlisted for the interview round, B.Tech and M.Tech included. The interview round was mostly interactive, where we had to mention about the various interns that we went through. A few programming questions were asked based on topics which we were comfortable with.
Tips: Just get used to coding, data structures and basic aptitude. GRE preparation as such helped me.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Finally there was a HR round in which I was asked as to why I would like to work in Samsung R&D and general things about interests and future plans. On the whole Samsung took 3 B.Tech students and 2 M.Tech students when they came for placements apart from PPOs.

General Tips: Personally I feel that one should apply in only those companies in which they are sure of having job satisfaction. So don't apply to companies which you are not interested in just for the sake of having a backup because once you are placed you do not have a second chance.
Do not get dejected if you do not get through in the first few tries. Keep your hopes up and be confident when ever you get to interview rounds. Try to be assertive when giving answers. It is some times exhausting to go through placements but the moment you get placed you will have the best feeling ever.
Skill Tips: Just chill and take the test. Once you clear the online test, irrespective of your pointer if you have a good profile you can convince the interviewers.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Questions on linked list, basic logic and an adhoc math problem. Questions were very doable, but time maybe the only constraint
Tips: Manage time, get used to fluently coding in C Java or C++. You wont have access to Internet, man pages during contest so practice coding g without them.

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Jan 2016. There were 5 interview rounds.

Interview Questionnaire 

3 Questions

  • Q1. Finding a loop in a directed graph, find the last element in a binary tree
  • Ans. 

    To find a loop in a directed graph, use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm. To find the last element in a binary tree, traverse the tree and return the rightmost leaf node.

    • For finding a loop in a directed graph, use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm which uses two pointers moving at different speeds.

    • To find the last element in a binary tree, traverse the tree recursively or iteratively and return the rightmost leaf node.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. On circular queue and finding the last number which is highest and contains same number. Of digits a the given numbber
  • Ans. 

    The question is about finding the last number in a circular queue that has the highest number of digits.

    • Implement a circular queue data structure

    • Iterate through the circular queue to find the last number with the highest number of digits

    • Compare the number of digits of each number in the circular queue
