Interview Tips & Stories

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

  • Ans. 

    Given an infinite staircase with a broken kth step, find the maximum height we can reach in n rounds of jumping i steps.

    • We can start by jumping the maximum number of steps in each round until we reach the broken step.

    • After reaching the broken step, we can discard the i steps that would land us on the broken step and jump the remaining steps.

    • We can continue this pattern until we reach the maximum height we can reach wit...

  • Q4. Height h was given and form a binary tree of height h and start combining bottom nodes to form a cone like structure
  • Ans. 

    Construct a binary tree of height h and merge bottom nodes to create a cone-like structure.

    • A binary tree of height h has 2^h - 1 nodes.

    • Start combining leaf nodes from the bottom level upwards.

    • Each combination can be visualized as merging two nodes into one.

    • For example, if h=3, the tree has 7 nodes, and you combine nodes at levels 2 and 1.

    • The final structure resembles a cone as nodes are merged.
